For Ola

My best friend is unlike any other

She befriended many, she saw the good

Her heart always had room for another

When she found me we formed a sisterhood

 

We shared all our triumphs and our sorrow

She could coax fits of laughter from my tears

We always thought there would be tomorrow,

That we'd be together many more years

 

Her creativity could not be bound

Creations inciting smiles from those reached

Write, draw, design- an artist all around

The earnest and ridiculous in each

 

Sorry for what life is and isn't, now unclear

Because today you're gone ,  and I 'm still here
