Helpless Healer

by Candice Tucker

Helpless Healer
We journeyed through the darkness, side by side
I tried my best to be your healer and guide
You endured with grace every setback and trial
And never failed to offer up a genuine smile
But unfortunately the world can be cruel and unjust
And upon you an unfathomable decision was thrust
Once again you showed wisdom and strength far beyond your years
And upon hearing your choice, I could not hold back the tears
Because even though your decision was right and for the best
It means my friend you will soon be faced with an even bigger test
But on this journey, I cannot be your guide
And sadly my friend, I also cannot be at your side
Please know that I will miss you and I’ve loved you as a friend from the start
And that you will never be forgotten due to the impression that you have left upon my heart
