No they have not passed away,
Just someone who was in my life
For just a short while.
One who became very dear to me
And helped me get past some bad times.
Someone who shared many laughs
And even tears now and then.
You roll the dice but don’t always win.
Like a Feather in the wind
My greatest loss has always been the loss
Of those who have shared memories with me
You can't replace those past experiences.
There are no substitutions
For having been there to share them.
Have you ever wondered why
Certain people happen into our lives?
I suppose they are there to
Teach us
Help us grow
Or Press us
To go further than we thought we could.
Every now and then
That special person will appear
My friend was one of those
They move on in life,
And always be who they are
But the times shared
Made memories that will never
Be forgotten.
I wish him well, with blue sky over Hawaii
or where he might be
I will remember to feed the Kitty
But I will Not Forget this special friend
Perhaps one day we will meet again
We had joy,
We had fun,
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we could climb
Were just seasons out of time
We had joy; we had fun,
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
I Lost a Friend
