Is being a year since you left this place called Earth and continue on your journey to Heaven or Pureland. Our destiny is short and if I had a choice, I should have get to know you better and cherish every memories you had with me. On this very same day last year, I saw your cold lifeless body resting. Your face expressed how much you had struggled throughout your final moment and of how much you had not wished to leave us. My hopes were dashed and life seem bleak without you. I couldn't find my bearings on Earth and I faltered for almost a year. But I know you are by my side and you wouldn't want to see in this dismal state. Life has to continue and I gotta be strong.

I lost something
Something close to me.
A dear friend was taken away
And that dear friend was part of me.
She left us all in a huff
We cannot understand
Why a journey she has to go
Had to end so sad
She flew away you see
Her soul flew up above
No more hurt or pain or suffering
Except for those she loved..to a better place we know
We cannot stop the heartache
We say she lived life to the fullest
But deep in our heart we secretly know
She had so many more dreams, she was not meant to go
You were a dear friend
And that you still are
A bubbly person who was full of fun
And up above I'm sure you still are
Even though you're gone my friend
I know we'll meet again
Maybe not today, tomorrow or the next day
But the day when my life on earth comes to an end
I may not know the answer
Of when the day may come
But from the very moment of now you shall be in my mind
I'm sure you will be in our heart
Wherever you maybe
I ask God for one last wish... Please bless her soul
With only one there is only you whom we loved so dearly
