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.
