This poem is dedicated to my best friend, Lirpa (April Sue Fitchette).
Lirpa, so many of us love you and miss you deeply.
Questions
So
many special times,
We
shared within our past.
So
many things I would have done,
If
I had known they wouldn’t last.
That
day you left plays in my mind,
Like
a constant spinning wheel.
I
know I can’t change the way things are,
But
I can’t help the way I feel.
What
did I do to deserve to lose,
Someone
I loved so much?
You
were taken away so suddenly,
Hurting
all the lives you touched.
Did
I do something wrong?
Am
I the one to blame?
Did
I sin so terribly?
Or
speak vainly of God’s name?
Are
you happy where you are?
Do
you miss the life you had?
Are
you looking down upon us,
Seeing
all the good and bad?
I
keep asking all these questions,
Why
did this have to be?
No
matter how much I search or ask,
I
find nobody answering.
I
guess we’ll never know just why,
You
had to pass so young.
But
we’ll still find that the questions
Will
keep rolling off our tongues.
I
hope you know how much I cared,
And
how much you were truly loved.
But
maybe you already see that,
As
you look upon us from above.
April Sue Fitchette April 10, 1982 – January 26, 2000
My best friend always. I love you and I miss you Lirpa!!! Love ~Lainey~ (3-26-00)
