A Silent Goodbye

THIS is to remember my dear old friend Memories I have, fading away I walk on this road that has no end In search of my friend, in a hopeless way. I listen to bird songs in distant lands To which my silent applause, brings me a tear On this dreary dark night, I wish you could hold my hands, And give me comfort that you’re here. You lifted me from bended knees Made me a friend, as I regained my strength. Before this setting sun, in times like these, Thy smile would spread without restrain. I look up into the sky, upon that fading light The setting sun, a beckoning star Farewell my friend, wherever you are.
