My Loyal Old Friend

 

A Sad Poem

 

 

Verse 1

 

If I had given you another name, what would it have been?

 

Looking back on your life what would that name mean?

 

Something that says everything I treasured and still do,

 

A name that tells everyone how special you were too.

 

Verse 2

 

Someone who was always happy to be by my side,

 

Who never questioned me and would never hide,

 

You were always there for me right up to the end,

 

I am so proud to have known you My Loyal Old Friend.

 

Verse 3

 

When I felt my world was empty and I only wanted to cry,

 

When I was feeling low or troubled by my side you'd lie,

 

That tender look in your eyes encouraged me to carry on,

 

My old friend I miss you so much now that you are gone.

 

Verse 4

 

Memories of our time together are precious now to me,

 

Those pictures will never fade so clear for all to see,

 

For I will always find the time to remember you,

 

My old friend I know you will remember me too.

 

Verse 5

 

If only I could see you again I wish there was a way,

 

To have you by my side for just one more precious day,

 

My faithful partner for now my love, is all that I can send,

 

Until we are together again; My Loyal Old Friend.
