Steel

STEEL

I saw the look that appeared on your face
the steel in your eyes shone through so tough,
we know life's not always ribbons and lace,
now is the time when your road's become rough.

Our friendship has grown,you call and invite
me into your life, a time that will prove
friendship has bound us together so tight,
always so strong, never drift nor will move.

You're now showing me the right way to live, 
in this dark time you still shine like a star.
Though memory fades you're able to give
courage to inspire, it's way beyond par.

As your best friend, you can always rely,
I'll walk on the road of your long goodbye.
