I regret that I never knew you
When your
mind was sharp and keen,
When you challenged life
with your wisdom -
When you dared and accomplished
your dream.
But...I meet you in the
hallways
And I walk "a piece" with you -
And I
value the tip of a friendship
With a lady that used
to be you.
 
Oh, our friendship is
different I grant you -
Still I count it as cherished
and blessed;
When I look out at those around me,
I
think perhaps we passed the test!
For your eyes
light up when you see me -
And you reach for my hand
- on you own -
To accomplish this much in the
darkness...
Just wait ...till we make it
Home!
