How cruel this thing called time,
to take a life so young,
just moments from his prime;
his life had just begun.
Such a smile will be missed.
Such a joy to have met,
a blessing to exist;
to be a friend, I don't regret.
He made an impact on us all,
made us love him even more.
The love of his would enthrall
a friend to adore.
How can time be so cruel
to take a gift away,
making me a fool
to demand to fate, he stayed?
But this day an angel's born -
bearing that same ol' smile;
as Heaven's lights adorned,
a beauty that goes for miles.
Today I say my farewell,
the end this friendship is not nigh.
We'll meet again as fate foretell;
together in Heaven on high.
Smile on, my dear friend,
this isn't the end.
