A Friend Forever Gone
I sadly reminisce of bygone days;
when you and I, united, made our stand.
We faced the world as brothers in a blaze,
and fought our frequent battles hand in hand.
And, oh, those summer nights were such a blast;
we raised our mugs in tribute all night long;
imbibed with friends until the dark had passed;
we wooed the women with seductive song.
But you, my friend, you slowly slipped away,
and left me here to face life on my own,
But why, my friend, could you not longer stay;
allowing me this aging to postpone.
Alas, the time is now to face the truth;
that gone forever is my dear friend Youth.
