Friend

When I stop to realize
Just how much you mean to me,
I can�t help but recognize
What life without you, dear friend, would be.

Like summer without the warming sun
And autumn with no falling leaves.
Winter�s playground with no fun,
No flowers blooming in the spring.

No words to form a line of prose
And music without notes would be.
Voiceless singing from a choir,
The piano playing in no key.

I hope these things to never know.
I pray it never comes to be
That we shall ever have to show
The need to ever part company.
