Run Free
Run free, my friend,
Like the wind on a stormy day,
Like cats chasing birds as their prey.
Run free, my friend, that's all I'll say.
When no one's around,
Just drops of sadness on the ground,
Thoughts of you beneath skies of gray,
The blue long gone, faded away.
Run free, my friend, that's all I'll say.
The empty bed, the silent wooden floors,
No scratching now at the doors.
Your favorite toy, once kept so safe,
And hairs on your brush—remnants we trace.
Though your time was short, your love will stay,
A memory to hold for a lifetime's sway.
Run free, my friend, that's all I'll say.
Your life was brief, but your love everlasting,
A bond that endures, no pain surpassing.
When smiles are lost and words bear only sorrow,
Run free my friend ill see you tomorrow.
