My Speech Team 2012 Competition Piece #5

A Letter For You

- Beginning to Accept It

 

 

Dear Steph,

I’m looking for the next step,

One that would make you proud,

A step that would make you grin on your cloud,

The place where you look down,

Just to watch me,

- And guard me from all around.

 

Well soon enough, you will see,

I am learning to be me,

You know how we used to have those long talks,

Or all those unpredictable walks?

Where we would talk about my confidence,

- And your views,

And how I would nod my head,

- And do things on queues,

Well I was listening,

- Not just nodding my head Steph girl,

I listened to everything you said,

- About the world.

 

I am getting stronger, at not being weak,

I hope this is just a leak,

In the car that is taking me on my journey,

To be on my way not in too much of a hurry,

I miss you girl and I hope you know,

Everyone here misses you so,

Be up there seeing me and help me here,

Because even though I’m getting better

- I still need you there.

 

Steph listen this would make me cry if I go on,

Just remember our favorite song,

When I get there we will sing along,

And dance in heaven because in the end-

It is where we all belong,

But right now I’m not in a hurry to die,

So I guess for now this is goodbye.

Well done and good rhyming with rhythm and pace about a friend that has passed on.
