farewell

as kids
we played
a towel around our necks
we saved the day

Super dude and mighty mutt
that was us
a boy and his dog
when times where simple
we fought pirates for gold
had our forutnes told
a lot of happy memories
of afternoons spent with you


then as I got older
you were there to listen
when no one wanted me around
a friend I could trust
to keep my secrets
not because you couldn't talk
but because loyalty
was your best quality

you were there when I was down
you had a habit of upturning my frowns
so many times you made me laugh
and a few when ya made me cry

it's not fair you had to go
to Leave in so much pain
and I shouldn't have left your side
I didn't get to say goodbye

you gave hope to a needy child
you kept me safe at night
and warm too
so now I say rest at peace
farewell
