I Lost a Friend

I lost a friend today

I miss his old familiar way

Too soon taken

I thought we had more time for makin

Memories of brighter days

I lost a friend today

You were here

Now you're gone

I guess it won't be long

Until we all join you in the everlasting throng

But for now

I lost a friend today

Thinking of yesterday

I should have spent more time

I thought we'd have more time

But life got busy and

I lost a friend today

You blessed my life

Inspired my heart

Showed me love and kindness right from the start

Always a friend when needed

Lifted me up when I felt depleted

But I lost a friend today
