Leonora

We were both training, to be a volunteer

Your laughter, was always good to hear

You like Angels, and that was great to know

As the time went by, our friendship sure did grow

You kept having health problems, I was worried about that

I always looked forward, to the times when we would chat

As everyone got to know you, they came to like you too

Time sure passed quickly, the years, they really flew

You moved in to a home, with a volunteer named Joe

It didn't work out, but you stayed as friends though

The spirits are watching over you, as you journey time and space

As you struggle daily for comfort, among the human race

Keep on doing your best, friends you will easily find

They're always around, and they will always treat you kind

Take pleasure in each moment, when there isn't pain

Search within your soul, when you feel the drain

I know what you are going through, I honor you with this poem

Since you are now living, in the same place we call home

The Angels you believe in, are not far from your side

You can call on them and spirits, they will be your guide

Leonora, I know what you are going through. You have made many

friends, and they, and I, are always around if you need someone to chat

with. That's one good thing about living at the Harbor Tower, you can

always find friends around here. I wanted to surprise you with this

poem for you, because you've been such a great friend.

Thank you for your friendship.
