Caring for You

Life is such a precious thing
But one day, it will end
For me I hope long from now
But I have no knowledge when
Nor will I ever truly know
But while life is precious
Even more precious is love
And sometimes it ends
And while I cannot live
If my life has ended
Nor can I live with no love
So if I were to die
I would not be so saddended
As I would be were I
To lose your love and care
And I would willingly depart
If it were my time to do so
If I had in me the knowledge
That I have loved you as a sister
As a friend, and I have cared
And that you have cared for me
Just as I did for you
Then I would move on willingly
Understanding that while life
Is important and precious
More precious is this special
Love, and bond that we share.

*Dedicated to my best friend*
