Today I say good-bye
To a special friend
So sad am I
That it comes to an end
Your beauty and power
A true mark of perfection
You always had time
For a hug and affection
We were together in good times
And together in bad
Always-high spirits whether
I was happy or sad
The times we played
And the times we walked
Sometimes we ran
And sometimes we talked
Bold and brave
From the very start
You lived at full speed
No quit in your heart
Always on you
I could depend
Ready on guard
Prepared to defend
About a true friend
Its true what they say
You knew me the most
And loved me anyway
So today I say thank you
I love all you have been
I shall never forget you
My forever faithful
Special friend
