All dressed in black
It came at last.
I never thought she'd be the first
She loved her life
She had the thirst.
Everything seemed to have gone wrong
But I sat down
Heard the organ's song.
The family wet from teary eyes
But each one spoke
And said good bye.
The pastor stood to speak his part
He was to calm
Like he had no heart.
"If there is nothing else to be said
We'll close the casket
And bury the dead."
I knew it was then I needed to speak
But my eyes were soggy
And my knees were weak.
But I stepped up and cleared my voice
I had to speak
I had no choice.
This girl she was my greatest friend
It is hard to think
This is the end.
"My friend," I said with all my might
"It is sad to see
You lost your fight."
"We are know that things are tough
But the way you died
It made more roads rough."
"But I'll still love you all my life
You helped me out
Through pain and strife."
"Everyone says death is the end
But they are wrong
We'll meet in heaven, my dearest friend."
