If you were granted gift of wings A tail, two horns, a voice that rings, You'd see what I'd be doing now If it were yesterday somehow. Soaring over thick, dense clouds Breaking through the misty shrouds Out into the moonlit night, Oh, to behold just such a sight! I flew around, dark thoughts inside My whirling mind, could not decide What to do from that point on When I found out my friend was gone... My feelings were as black as night, On hearing news about his plight. My heart took on such steep a dive When I knew he was not alive. I still remember way back when The times I wish would come again, We'd given each other a tiny star To keep when we were near or far. That night I took the pendant and Caressed it in my scaly hand. I wished that my good friend was here, As slowly came from me a tear. __________ But then I saw up in the sky A sight that made me stop my cry. Instead, warm tears of joy then came As if I'd heard him call my name. The stars shone brightly, twinkling so, And no one else but I would know Why they did that, cast their light On this cold, dark winter night. __________ It cannot be done, they say That there could never be a way To shepherd all the stars up there; Or hold them in a gentle care. But I do know someone who could-- A sight so beautiful, so good. And then I knew that my best friend Had not yet met his end... Little Spyro T. Dragon |

I myself haven't lost any best friends--thank God for that--and hopefully will not lose any in the future. But this is for all those who have...to tell them that someone's journey doesn't stop...it just doesn't.  Now, me on the other hand, my journeys always end up passing by the refrigerator, then the oven, and end up at a table...and this journey seems to happen distressingly often... Little Spyro T.

Hi Spyro! What a wonderful tribute to best friends. I don't know what I'd do if I lost mine either, but this was very touching. Thanks for writing. Joy |

Spyro I'm in tears... This is heart-stopping.. "My whirling mind, could not decide What to do from that point on When I found out my friend was gone... My feelings were as black as night, On hearing news about his plight. My heart took on such steep a dive When I knew he was not alive. I still remember way back when The times I wish would come again," So very true in my life right now... Has been for a while.. Hmm... Very well written and unbelievable how, time and time again, you do such a wonderful job!  |

And thus the friend, will never end. They live on in all men. Within the hearts whom loved them bold The tales of love never told. Merely shared between two friends as long as one lives the memory never ends. Great Poem Spyro. Inspirational and moving. Great job.

Thanks.....good writing. I've had 3 friends die on me so far. - One died cuz he got hit by a car - Second had a huge asthma attack - Other one has something wrong with his kidneys. and I currently have a friend going in for an operation cuz he has a tumor next to his left lung. 50% chance of surviving the operation........so horrible. This hit the spot....thanks I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
