Looking up to the heavens on a moonless night.
Stars casting down a shadow, as they shine so bright.
It's time to unwind the thoughts in my mind.
And put down on paper for me to find.

So many thoughts bleeding out from my pen.
Revisiting visions from way back when.
It took a while for me to see,
The things you did, you did them for me.

Remembering memories of days long gone,
Lifts my spirit and fills my heart with a song.
You are the best friend that I have ever had.
You made me laugh, yet held me when I was sad.

My emotions drift back to a warm safe place.
Where you nurtured and cared within your embrace.
So now I'll give back to you what you once gave to me.
For to me you are so special and always will be.

As you shuffle slowly across the ground.
Your feeble legs are now slowing you down.
I see you struggling from day to day.
I'll be right here beside you all the way.

I will cherish the precious time I have with you.
And make more memories to last a lifetime through.
While the clocks and calendars have begun to show your age.
I fear tomorrow you may not be here to turn the page.

But when the fire finally goes out,
An angel you will be, without a doubt.
And when I hear my name, whispered in the gentle wind.
I know you will be watching over me, once again.

You are lucky to have such a special friend. Everyone needs a good friend to be there for them to help smooth out life's bumpy road.
Hold onto this special someone!! : )

That is so tender and loving, and the way it should be between friends, and family.

This makes me cry, so full of love, and the knowledge of loss to come. I understand it well.
Beautifully done.
