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.
