Till the end...

In memory of my friend Mary...


Till the end...

You helped me in times uncertain

When I felt my show was about over, u raised the curtain

When the days felt done for good

You held out your hand where I buckled & patiently stood

Among the second thoughts that now pass my mind

Each one with you is infinitely kind

I hold a cold hand for the final time till soil & tears surround what's left behind

Hear now, I shall stand as best I can, till tears fall & my composure begins to unwind

When that happens, forgive me for my pitiful tears & cries

To say I cared very little would be the biggest of lies

We weren't related by blood, but family is how you treated me

You gave wisdom with choice, & always answers heartfelt & free

You were like a grandmother to me & always will be

You gave what little you had, anytime, anywhere.....

You were an angel down here, I'm sure your one up there....

---To a great friend who did everything she could till the end---

I'll never forget you....promise...
