Page 19 - Poems by Alyson Malach - Childhood to Adulthood

Reaching out to a friend

Stuart, our lovely precious friend
You have been there for your dad and mum right up to the end.

You worked all day and visited every night.

Your mum thought you were a breath of fresh air and a lovely sight.

At the end of every day, you were there?

Visi�ng with your dad, your memories to share
You are a great son, a great dad, and a friend.

Always willing to give, to support and to help your dad mend.

To help him mend his broken heart.

To help him heal and cope.
Stuart, you are a great guy.

Bringing love, support, and real hope

What would we do without you?

What would we do if you were not our friend?
I know my life would be incomplete.

If on you I could not depend

So, in your hours of sorrow

In your hours of grief

Know that you, Frank, and the girls can depend on our support.
And that we can offer you relief

Joel and I are here for you.

No mater what the �me of day
We will laugh with you, cry with you

and support you in any way.

I did not know your mother well.

But of late she touched myeart

I feel your grief and sorrow.
Now that you are torn apart.
