Beau

9 years ago on this day may best friend went away.
He was a joy to be around 
And packed full of fun.
Trustful like none other,
and straight to the point he was.
I learned much from this man,
He taught me what a friend was suppose to mean.
 never forgetting any of our talks
They are a apart of who we are. 
Think about you every day,
remembering all you say.
So when I am done writing this
I am saying later for once.
Always saying bye to you,
 bye was forever in your eyes. 
you shook a hand like it was your last dance. 
Even though you are home,
You will always be my best friend.

RIP Beau 5-27-2011
