To My Best Friend

We've been good pals for many years,

I've watched your eyes hold back the tears.

But you or I can't stop the time,

When my time with you is no longer mine.



My eyes are tired, my body is weak,

These would be my words, if I could speak.

Please take me where they'll stop my pain,

And let me have eased sleep again.



I know that day won't come easy to you,

But as my friend, it’s what you must do.

Talk to me softly, in a voice I know,

And I promise, my friend, I'll be happy to go.



A tear, I know, will slip from your eye,

Other humans with friends will understand why.

Don't let your heart stay heavy and glum,

Because all my years with you,

Were happy and fun.

With love from your best friend!
