Best Friends Don'T Die

Dedicated to my Best Friend

Best friends don't die and that can't be changed,
When they leave our lives get rearranged.
Things won't seem the same after they're gone,
But in our hearts they will always live on.
Best friends don't die, so smile for those who are lost,
There is not alot you can do to protect them at all costs.
When God says their time is up he will take them away,
But you might see them again someday.
Best friends don't die well that's what I would like to think,
First he's here then he's gone and it can happen in a blink.
My best friend's gone but that doesn't mean he's dead,
His voice I still hear inside my head.
They're always watching over us, they know we'll be alright,
They hear us when we call and when we pray at night.
