Cathie I'm Here.

Cathie ,Yes I'm here.
As your eyes search to see if I'm near
You squeeze my hand to say hello
An a tear escapes for I don't want you to go.
You drift in and out of sleep
And I hope you will awake
But I know there is another path for you to take.
All the early years a friendship we shared
I have treasured the good times so I'm prepared.
My tears for you I must swallow
For this path you take I can't follow.
