A Silent Goodbye

THIS is to remember my dear old friend
Memories I have, fading away
I walk on this road that has no end
In search of my friend, in a hopeless way.

I listen to bird songs in distant lands
To which my silent applause, brings me a tear
On this dreary dark night, 
I wish you could hold my hands, 
And give me comfort that you’re here.

You lifted me from bended knees
Made me a friend, as I regained my strength.
Before this setting sun, in times like these,
Thy smile would spread without restrain.

I look up into the sky, upon that fading light
The setting sun, a beckoning star 
Farewell my friend, wherever you are.
