My departed friend

 

I say some words to you my friend,

although you are dead and gone.

I remember everything you said so clearly,

as if they were words of a song.

 

Words of love and understanding

and advice to strive and to be real.

I remember your words like it was only yesterday

and how they made me feel

 

I remember your thoughts,

to try and reach beyond our earthly bounds.

To this day I remember your words,

tumbling and echoing around.

 

And although it has been many years

since you passed away,

I still feel the need to say;

“thankyou.”
