I Lost My Friend Today
I lost my friend today
but why I could not say
I spoke to him last night
He seemed to be all right
We talked about his book
I laughed until I shook
We spoke of days gone by
He even made me cry
His laughter was contagious
He lived a life outrageous
I remember what he said
before I went to bed
Kiss the children there for me
I may visit in the Spring, we'll see
I know he'd say don't cry for me
Just live your life spent happily
He always had good things to share
It made me wish that I was there
In his honor may I just say
"No truer friend has passed my way".
