Final Farewell

I shall miss you, my dear friend

I shall miss the way you made me laugh

I treasure the memories we share,

I dread that we must now part

You made me smile when all seemed lost

You made me laugh while tears flowed down my face

You have always been the best of friends

You must now say goodbye

Tomorrow is a new day

Make a friend or two

Tomorrow is full of opportunities

Don't waste them

Now, as the sun sets in brilliant reds and golds,

I wonder why this day must end

It seems I am always saying goodbye to the sunlight,

And saying hello to the darkness

Now, as I say this final farewell,

I beg of you to take my advice

Never let a moment pass

Without realizing that it could be someone else's last
