Truth Calling

(For Sheila, her family and friends)

Verse 1
The words you wrote spilled like a poet's to the page,
Your eyes lit up as lovers met across a stage,
The warmth we saw in you came from deep within,
But the tenderness we cling to was a blanket for your pain.

Verse 2
The stars I gaze upon seem different since that day,
While one shines brighter, another fades away,
You light up the winter sky, the moon at your command,
Convinced you didn't mean it, but your soul had different plans.

Chorus
This is truth calling, makes its way to me,
And this is love falling, falling at our feet.

She was your sister, your neighbour, she was your daughter, your carer.
She was your mother, your sharer, she was your friend, your lover.

Verse 3
The bowing heads of many hold your image in their minds,
The endless search for answers occupy the time,
Gazing at the pictures, with eyes they fail to see
Why in a moment, robbed of reason, you embraced eternity.

I know that your friend must be experiencing great pain, stress, etc. to be contemplating this final solution to the problem. I hope your friend could realize how much pain this will bring to you who are left behind. Perhaps then, your friend would reconsider. At any rate, all you can do is be there for your friend in this trying time. Perhaps your love can ease and heal the pain. Is there a suicide prevention program in your area? Someone, hopefully more experienced in this field, might be able to talk with your friend as well. Anyway, God bless you and your friend. Be assured of my prayers.

So sorry to hear your friend is that down.....what is the matter with them?

Talking of suicide is many times....a cry for help. Many who are serious do not discuss it...but not always. Take them serious and be a good shoulder. Wish you the best.....
