Friend
/A friend passed away this late October day.
He was a good and trusted man;
a cut above the rest.
He will be remembered for his warm
and ready smile, kind heart, and his
always “Here let me lend a hand.”
But I guess his most striking trait
was his wavy hair.
We all would gather at a nearby diner
for breakfast.
Wednesday was our day.
It started out with just a few,
but as these things often do, it grew
until there were 10 or 12 of us gathered
around the table.
Much to the owner’s glee, we were treated
like royalty thanks to
my wavy haired friend.
he made me a better person
I filed past him for one last time
bidding my old friend a sad goodbye.
Before they laid him in the ground
I knew in my heart
that heaven had opened its door
and welcomed my wavy haired friend
back home.
Rest in Peace W.L.L.
