We'll walk together

soon I'm sure,

as winter turns to spring,

when snow gives way

to budding leaves

 and birds begin to sing.

The gentle breeze

 shall call your name

 along the water's edge.

For what we shared

 and what you meant

shall never be forgot.

Your friendship spans

 the years behind

your memory ahead.

You'll always be

there next to me,

My companion and good Friend.
