HARRY by BURT / LOVE,

DAD

From the very first day you ran to me,
until the very end
You walked this earth beside me
as my very best friend.

What made me stop to watch
you and family playing in the yard
After losing a friend not long ago
had put my emotions on guard.

But as sure of life’s mystery
that is never put to test
It’s the unexpected things
in life that from above are blessed.

All the things we shared my friend
are part of history
Those very things we’ve done my friend,
I’ve placed gently into memory.

It is now thoughts of you my friend,
I know this is so
For last night I again watched and held
your head and had to let you go.

Last night I packed the teddy bears
to ease the pain of sight
But only thought of you,
the way you looked last night.

Today I thought I saw you standing there,
but it was sadly not to be
It was just the thought of you years
before I placed into memory.

To my beloved best friend Harry

 

RUN FREE PAIN FREE HARRY,
HARRY
