My Companion and Best Friend That Never Complains

I have a best friend I always go to see He has been a loving life-long companion to me Always loving me anyway I look I don't have to be glamorous like some in fashion books He treats me as an equal, never under-rates Even when I make the most stupid of mistakes We do things together and learn from each other He is my confidante, my teacher and my lover He and I are best friends fortunate to meet This union we have makes life together sweet Until age caught up with us, this was a bitter pill My dearest best friend became very, very ill I had to put him into a strange place As he no longer recognised my face I was devastated, I could not give the special care That he would receive in a nursing home, so I put him there I see him every day and sit holding his hand And talk to him as we always did Hoping he can understand the never-ending love we share Will always remain As I look lovingly at my companion, who never complains My Best Friend and companion That Never Complains Competition by Eve Roper
