Today I say
Good-bye to my friend
He brought me comfort when I was in pain
He brought me love when I had lost love
He gave me loyalty when I thought there was none left
He gave me joy and made me believe that all was ok in the world..
Hed kiss my wounds and listen while I talked, laughed, cried, hurt or rejoiced.
He watched over me while I slept
He walked with me, jogged with me.he listened to me..he believed in me.
He knew that I would always love him and that I would always be with him.
Today, I cry and my heart is filled with pain but
I know that the spirit he shared with me will go on forever
I thank him for his gift of unconditional loyalty and friendship
I thank him for the memories and the gift of his life..
Today I say
Goodbye to my friend
