My poem of the week 
          Together 
          
          We are best friends.
          We did everything, together.
          We clean, cooked, grieved, together. 
          
          You are there when I need you most.
          You were there when she died.
          You put a smile on my face when I need it most.
          
          I am your little girl.
          I am your best friend.
          I am your granddaughter. 
          
          We are best friends.
          We go shopping, together.
          We get communion, together.
          
          You grew old.
          You got hurt more.
          You went to the hospital more.
          
          I grew older.
          I won ribbons.
          I grew prettier, to you.
          
          We are best friends.
          We smiled, together.
          We cried, together.
          
          You fell ill, you got better.
          You got worse,
          You showed strength, you put up denial.
          
          I shut people out.
          I had bad dreams.
          I let my depression consume me.
          
          We are best friends.
          We did everything, together.
          We laughed, together.
          
          You grew pale, while I grew quiet.
          You grew cold, while I stopped reading.
          You got quiet, while I grew weak.
          You grew tired, while I had hope.
          You let go, I cut the rope.
          You got buried, I need therapy.
          
          We are best friends.
          We shared everything together. 
          But we didn't die, together.
