For Dakota
Time has flown away,

Just like you did,
You received your invitation and you packed your bags

And you went with Him.

But I didn’t get to say goodbye


Time has flown away

I thought with time, it would be easier,

But it’s not


I try to stay positive and remember

Remember all the good memories,

Your smile

But it’s hard.


I miss you every day, Dakota

I know I am not the only one

You touched so many lives

But God decided you needed to be with Him.


Goodbye, my dear friend,

Those words are bitter in my mouth to say,

In my brain to think,

And my heart to believe

But one day, I will see you again.

I wrote this in honor of my friend, Dakota Land. He was so strong and fought everyday with cystic fibrosis. It is hard knowing he is not here anymore physically, but he is here with all of us in our hearts.
