Ours Was a Friendship of Maybe Once a Month

In memory of Cynthia Lloyd of Hightower, who passed way in August of 1994.

UNTITLED

Ours was a friendship of maybe once a month

Of always glad to see each other

Of common interests

But never a closeness

Your private life, so full of strife,

Was never known to me

Not even those closer

Saw your pain, knew your hurt

Between yourself and the Lady above

Your decision was made

None knew; None saw

Your mind was at peace.

Maybe the next time ‘round

The lesson of this life Will be easier to learn

Or perhaps you will be stronger.

Mistress Therese of the White Griffin AS XXVIII 31 August 1994
