Laughter echoes in my dreams
you are beside me, or so it seems
Awake to feel your eyes, so warm
so very tranquil in the darkest storm
Smiles etched so deeply inside my mind
of ones so thoughtful, deep & kind
A friend to me beyond compare
such friendship like this, quite so rare
To hear your whisper in the air
to look across, an empty chair
Beyond you've gone from this place
still hear your voice, & see your face
Life still tumbles end to end
always with me, dearest friend.
