Better Place: In Loving Memory of Rose, for my good friend Paul
Better Place(For my brother Paul)
Have the tears began to fall?
Have you begun to feel the loss?
Have the angels called?
But you might need to cry
And the shoulder you might need
Might as well be mine
I know just how you feel
Lean on me, hold on me
If you should start to reel
If it takes you by surprise
You need to look no further
Than an old friend's reddened eyes
Of the beauty behind the pain
It might be the one thing
To keep you from going insane
So to you, my old friend
I know just how you feel
Lean on me, hold on me
If you should start to reel
If it takes you by surprise
You need to look no further
Than an old friend's reddened eyes
Have rolled down my face
As I remembered a love that I lost
Is in a better place

Hi Lionel,
I'm so sorry for Paul's loss! this poem is very beautifully written.
Thanks Metalchick, Paul was the other guitar player in my old band. Rose was his mom, she was a wonderful lady. She suffered from cancer, but now she is out of pain and flying around in Heaven!
