A Friend Like You

A final wish One he regrets For you must be careful What you wish for. Back into the lamp Vanishing in blue mist No matter how hard we wish This genie isn't coming back. A talented comedian Who cracked jokes Inspired those he met Changed lives down the road. An amazing actor That rocked films Made us jump for joy Laugh at his cross-dress When he became a nanny. Brought joy and laughter That brightened the world Like a lightbulb in a dim room Shining brighter than the rest. He made us laugh Made us cry Never should Of said goodbye. You shall be missed Here on planet Earth Yet your star shines bright For the world at night. Shine bright Dear knight Cherished friend May you be at peace. Never had we Had a friend Like you To change lives With your laughter.
