(Note:  Sunday was a ritual summer weekend cook-out all-out fire up the grill and have some brews day.  But my best friends' leaving.)


Most of all I'll miss Sundays
and afternoons of skipping work
Trails blazed at blinding speeds
Stories from your colored past

The way your dog greets me at the door
Many a pizza and beer night
Debates about nothing particular
Seeing your wife get completely zonked

E-mails and home phone calls
Visits and long road trips
Adventures I can't describe
Your grilled to perfection steaks

Asking me to be your best man
The way your mother-in-law
even considers me a part of the family
And I never have to knock

I'll miss just stopping by
Talking about our current problems
Calling only to say hello
But, most of all I'll miss Sundays.

This is a nice poem about missing your friend, before he even leaves.  Joyce

It's a painful thing when your best friend goes away.  Hopefully your will continue your friendship by mail and phone, if nothing else.

This poem was touching. I know how this feels. You're lucky your friend grilled his steaks to perfection, my friend doesn't even know what a grill is....let alone know how to cook.  
Anyway I liked the poem a lot. Felt it had a lot of deep sentiments within it....I appreciated the poem greatly, and I'm sure your friend will knowing you care this deeply about him.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
