“I am starting to worry” she said,
“Worry about my age,
And what may happen,
Happen to me.”
My friend said these words
We were sitting drinking coffee,
Talking of many things,
When she said this.
It surprised me,
She is so full of life
Full of energy and joy.
Perhaps on her own
She thinks these thoughts
Which lead to despair,
It is something that I, as a friend,
Had not seen before.
There is no need for her to feel this way,
Her life is full of wonder,
Her belief is strong.
She knows where she is going
As her life will never end.
Her Spirit will go on for eternity,
But before that time
I am here,
I can listen,
Listen to my friend.
