Goodbye

there is silence now;

once there was laughter,

once there was joy;

we played whiffle ball

in your backyard,

shooting baskets after school,

jumping off diving boards

in Kentucky,

camping out and staying up

all night,

sneaking into the drive-in

theater through the

hole in the fence;

life went on,

and so did we;

there is peace now;

no more struggling,

no more pain,

no more tears;

goodbye my friend.
