There is an emptiness that can´t be filled
and sadness envelopes the heart,
the loss of one so dear to us
is tearing all apart.
But strength is found in memories
and forever they will last,
for me it was the garden wall
he built with bricks and broken glass.
I´ll not forget his smile that day
his grin was ear to ear,
proud he was of the wall he´d built...
"Here, Pete come and look out here".
He told me all there was to know
about this marvelous construction,
with bottle bottoms, green blue and brown
"And Pete, I never had instuctions".
We stood together side by side
in the warnth of the summers end,
that´s the moment I´ll remember
and I was proud to call him friend.
