 A poem for Colby
Annmarie, thank you again for lighting a candle for Roxie. Please feel free to cut and paste any pictures, poems, etc., from her page that you want. I don't mind at all. Here is a beautiful one to get you started:
I Loved You Best
-Jim Willis 2002
So this is where we part, My Friend,
and you'll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you'll surely find.
I will go on, I'll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length. ...
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.
There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
will remember well all you've taught.
Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this...I loved you best.
