We thought nothing could shake our bond
Who knew that so quickly you could be gone?
But only in body, your spirit is here
Wherever I travel, I know you'll be near
I never thought He'd take you away
Though it brings to my heart so much dismay
I know that always you'll be looking down
Transforming my smiles from every frown
So I'm writing this poem in hopes you'll see
Just how much you mean to me
I'm sorry for the times we've argued and fought
For squabbling and quarrelling of any sort
But now you are safe in His protection
You're a true friend, right down to perfection
It's not a good bye, or I'll miss you so much
As you're still alive, in my heart you touched
Friends forever and ever to the end
And all my love, I always send.
