My Loyal Old Friend

My Loyal Old Friend

A Sad Poem


Verse 1

If I had given you another name, what would it have been?

Looking back on your life what would that name mean?

Something that says everything I treasured and still do,

A name that tells everyone how special you were too.

Verse 2

Someone who was always happy to be by my side,

Who never questioned me and would never hide,

You were always there for me right up to the end,

I am so proud to have known you My Loyal Old Friend.

Verse 3

When I felt my world was empty and I only wanted to cry,

When I was feeling low or troubled by my side you'd lie,

That tender look in your eyes encouraged me to carry on,

My old friend I miss you so much now that you are gone.

Verse 4

Memories of our time together are precious now to me,

Those pictures will never fade so clear for all to see,

For I will always find the time to remember you,

My old friend I know you will remember me too.

Verse 5

If only I could see you again I wish there was a way,

To have you by my side for just one more precious day,

My faithful partner for now my love, is all that I can send,

Until we are together again; My Loyal Old Friend.
