My Best Friend, John
1944 - 2007
 
 

Somewhere in time,
We each found a friend;
When our hearts were broken,
And needed to mend.

 

We talked for many hours,
We never ran out of things to say;
And when we finally met,
We wished we could stay.

 

We were lovers for a while,
But we knew it couldn't be;
We each had a life,
We each had family.

 

But the friendship never ended,
It remained oh so strong;
We didn't see each much,
The times between were long.



But now you're gone, my friend,
Your home is with the Lord;
But I know you will remember me,
When it's my turn at the door.



I'll never forget the time shared,
Or those moments so sublime;
And I know that we will meet again,
Somewhere in time.
