  poems for a new tomorrow

my best friend

it ended just the other day

it was a day I never thought would come

it was the day I lost my best friend

at least, my only related one

you can never know my sorrow

you will never know my pain

or how I've lived the last two years

knowing that my best friend was not the same

there are times that things are simple

then other times they're complex

but what happened to my best friend

has made my mind a wreck

best friends are there to talk to

so they can give you good advice

but my best friend’s mind left some time ago

and now it seems that I've lost him twice

although now I'm left with sadness

I've been helped by those who care

and I want them to know I'm so grateful

of the love and time they shared

for my best friend is now in heaven

where he'll live with no more pain

but he left me with wonderful memories

and especially his last name

 I love you

I'll miss you

goodbye, Dad
