Les Nicolsen III
10/28/51-1/28/02

This poem is dedicated to Les Nicolsen, a
person that played an important role in the life
of my sister, Rachel De La Rosa-Johnston. It
is also inspired by a letter written to Les, by
Rachel, expressing her feelings of sadness
over his loss. His efforts to strive for a
better life will never be forgotten.

You will be missed Les and your
smiles will never be forgotten.
May God grant you the
peace that you
longed
for.


" MY THOUGHTS OF YOU "

What were your thoughts that day, that day
filled with sadness and pain,
did your heart feel lost and lonely,
with an emptiness, that you just couldn’t explain…

What were your thoughts the week
before it all came to an end,
did you feel your life was so hopeless,
and that you didn’t have a friend...

On your last day, were tears running down
from your beautiful, big blue eyes,
did you look to the heavens for comfort,
with your arms opened to the skies…

I know you were tired, and in your
soul you felt such sorrow,
your heart cried of loneliness, and
in your mind, there was no tomorrow...

My question to you is why, because
I really don’t understand,
my mind can guess at your answers,
but my aching heart, just can’t comprehend…

My mind tells me, that you’re now
in a much better place,
my aching heart can’t accept that,
because tears of sadness, now cover my face...

How my aching heart wishes, I could have been there,
to wipe your sad tears away,
I would have embraced you closely,
so you could be here with us, on this very day...

You left me with wonderful memories,
God granted me that fate,
you were my best friend, my confidant, my everything,
and above all, you were my soul mate...

On days when I feel empty,
and I feel lonely and blue,
I’ll think of you and your smiles,
and my heart will smile with you…

I pray that God will guide you and
bring you comfort each day,
I pray that he holds you tightly,
for in his arms, you will always stay…

You’ll always have a special place,
a place that lives in my heart,
I will think of you always,and
your memory will never depart...
