Because I’m a writer: a poem to a lost friend

Alright writer?
Both a greeting and inspiration in a simple hello, to believe I had flow and allowing me to grow with your confidence. How you lifted me with two two syllable words, each greeting which spurred me on, trusting in my own competence. To use my words, so I will use my words.
Joy. Passion. Love. As I read through your timeline these words I find above all others. Accompanied by kindness and faith and an unwavering grace with which you used to face every blessed day with a smile. Always a smile.
And as you sit with your Father, farther away than we could ever imagine I see that smile daily. Joy. Passion. Love. Even on the darkest days you teach others of the light life has to offer. While I sit here writing this I am reminded how lucky I was to be a brief spark in the vibrance that was your life. You remind me that even for a short time we were family, finding friendship and kinship over a few rounds of dutch dutch. Sometimes my mind will wander back to that day and I would think of what you’d say to take my pain away. You’d say “its alright sis” you would hug me tight. You would tell me to keeping standing and to not give up the fight.
This world is a state. Everyday we are faced with chaos and hate but I remain grateful, so I guess I am writing this because its the best I can do to say thank you. For your kindness, for your smile, for your generosity. Thank you for letting me be touched by your legacy.
You will be greatly missed 
All my love 
Your Writer
