Buddy

I know my heart will suffer, for you will not be here

but I know the days and nights we spent together

will always be so near and dear

 

I know you will always be with me in memory, my friend

and I will hold onto that, so tight and never to forget

and never will I ever let those thoughts ever end

 

I told you I would never leave you

and in your own way, you said the same

but the time has come for us to say goodbye

 

I will love you always and tears will be shed

although my heart will wither with pain

the memory, your unconditional love and loyalty,

will always be the same

 

For you were my best friend

a special friend I will see once again

I will always cherish and honor you

and never forget your name

 

The fun we had together

will never be too far from thought

 

For you and I will always be together -

 

always -

 

Rest in peace, Budman -

 

In loving memory,

MY BEST FRIEND

BUDDY
