Forever Friends

OK. This poem is for Isabella's friend Dee who is leaving her school. Hope you enjoy!

Forever Friends

As you fly away forever my little Dee bird

Remember me

As the ring of friends, weeping at your departure

Recedes into the distant past

Remember

And there you were in the centre my little Dee bird

Of our friendship

And you too cried

As tears fell past your long curly hair

And sparkling blue eyes

Remember me

The many times you sang

Your beautiful voice echoed around my heart

And circled my soul

Dear Diddly Dee

Remember me

More wondrous than angels

More beautiful than the stars

Your friendship outshines them all

Donagha Dee

Remember me

For as you leave me

For another school, another place

As you soar from your nest

My little Dee bird

I’ll never forget your friendship

So precious

To me

I cry out to the world

For when you are gone

I cannot bear to part

And my only wish

Remember me

As I look upon your face

For the final time

Before you sail across the sea

Remember me

For long after you go

With your eyes of sparkling blue

Remember me always Dee

As I remember you.
