For a lost friend...

Good bye old friend,
seems I have much to say,
now that you are gone
we won't meet for tea today...

I told you to walk
I told you to run,
Much did we discuss
the Jesus was the chosen One...

You always denied
that God does exist,
many times I cried
and at you I shook my fist...

Now that you are gone
to the energy of the afterlife,
like an old remembered song
you defined all the strife...

But you were a good friend
always a phone call away,
you would lend your last dollar
to the last hour you would stay...

Thank you old friend,
wish i could say much more,
you were loyal to the bitter end
what more could a friend ask for...

Hello Spartacus

Regardless, of what he denied
through his giving and faithfulness

within his spirit
within himself

He now has become the realms of the wall
of many
That when they die

they shall be received

He may even say

"You were right"

Beautiful piece my friend

"like an old remembered song"
Only you both know that
