goodbye

ode to the loss of a friend

the words do not come to lament a loss

writers have written tributes

to all the great and some not so great

but who writes words

for the loss of a friend

are there words to describe the loss of a friend? 

something special should be written

but if not by me then by who

words written for others

do not seem to be right for a lost friend

special words

should be penned and said

and maybe screamed

but if not by me then by who

something written special

to remember them by

something lasting and sweet

but if not by me then by who

sorry old friend

my words are not so great

but they come from my heart

and I say what I mean

I'll miss your words

and your smiling face

there 's a whole in my heart

may God be with you

Charlie Bush

where ever you are
