A letter to my dear friend

Oh Mavis, I am so sorry

I am sorry I couldn't say goodbye
I let anger steal you away from me
I let my own problems deny me the chance to reach out
All I thought about were "you couldn't even..."
I never knew you were fighting for your life
How can I ever forgive myself?
I loved you like a sister and you knew that
I know how much you loved and cared about me too
I am grateful for the opportunity to know you
I am grateful our paths met
I am grateful for all the kindness you showed me
You were my sister, my friend and I really appreciate you
I am broken hearted
I don't know if you can ever forgive me
I pray for your soul
And I promise to do better as long as I live
You lived a good and an enviable life
You were one in a million
So full of life
So full of laughter
So full of play
You loved God and always looked out for other people
You were the kindest person I know
I am glad the pain is over
Till we meet again in the bosom of God
Rest well my dear friend
Rest well my dear sister
Rest well my dear Mavis
