Today

Today I held you lifeless hand
Kissed your frozen lips
Today I buried you in the ground
My friend never to be

Today I wished your mother well
Held you little sister to
Today I helped dad move your things
Out beyond the wishing well

Today my friend I love you
Tomorrow and forever to
Today I took the box from your drawer
The one that held my ring so snug

Today I would have walked the isle
With you waiting at the end
Today I would have said I do
To the man I will forever love
