The Other Side

by Mariah Yazzie
(Farmington, NM)

I never knew what life would be like without you
I thought it would always be just you and me.
We had such good time together.
I never wanted it to end
I hated that day I found out you we're gone forever
I love you, you were my friend.
I can't wait until this life is over
I can't wait to see you.
I'll be seeing you on the other side
I loved how clever you were, so independent.
You could do anything, but had trouble,
but no longer will you struggle.
I will be your eyes. I will be your heart.
Now all I need is your motivation.
You'll always be in my heart.
Where I will go is where you will go.
I'll take you where you never went.
I'll live your life for you.
I used to pray every night
I'd ask God about you and how you're doing.
I want to know if you are okay
and if you're watching over us.
Every day I would look up in the sky
and think about you.
I will do this for you,
everything you've always wanted to do.
I will continue on where you left off.
I miss you and I can't wait to see you...
