A Friend of Mine, Some things Kill
By Lisa Noe

I’m sitting here angry and brokenhearted because of friend of mine just died.
He was only fifty-six yet the Lord took him just the same. His Name was
Earl, he was a character. He loved to laugh and joke around. He was a best
Friend of my husband, who was just my boyfriend at the time. This was thirty-four
Years ago when I was still a young teen. Earl had known the answer to a trivia question
In a game, yet failed to tell it because he was embarrassed to let people know he knew
All about Winnie the Pooh, the Walt Disney book. From that day forward my husband
Called me Pooh bear.

Well that was many years ago, we were all young, though those boys were wild.
I was just an innocent school girl at the time. Well Earl moved to Florida for a while.
But about 2000 he moved back here to live with and take care of his aging father.
He lived with him until about a month ago, when the old man senior had to be placed in
A nursing home. He was getting to be too much for his son to care for by himself. He had
Serious health problems. Well as soon as he was free and on his own the damn fool, crazy thing
Went out for the first time and tried meth, the drug that is so frequently used where I live.
That very moment he died of a massive heart attack, brought on by the drug.

I can’t believe he was so ignorant to try a fool thing like that. I mean all drugs are bad, But any fool should know better as to shoot a drug into your arm. Now my friend is gone, dead!
At the pretty young age of fifty-six, he should have had many more years. I’m angry, I loved the person
But I’m furious with what he did. There is absolutely no excuse for doing drugs of any kind!
