My Mate Andy

Sad to see you go my friend, You are now in a better place The friendship we had Was not fake. I didn’t know you for very long But blessed to have met you When I did, That cheeky smile of yours Was off the grid. I can’t explain why I connected So deeply to you. You loved your jelly Because you didn’t Have to chew. I helped you all I could From a cleaner’s point of view, But the last time I saw you, That was when I just knew. I sat with you and ran my fingers through your hair, You fell asleep and Gave me a scare. Knowing it was the last time To see you alive Your eyes giving me Recognition of, I’m off To see my son and wife. Silently you went With your daughter by your side Her emotions roar She could not hide. Rest in peace my dear friend I’m sad your time Came to an end.
