At a time it seemed life had no end,
That's when you were my best friend.
We laughed, we sang, we played our parts.
You were Paul, and I was Art.
As time moved on, I moved away.
Why we lost touch, I just can't say.
I've lived and loved, and you did, too.
But your life ended and I never knew.
Now hoping that we could renew our bond,
Instead I find that you are gone.
Had I been there to lift in love,
Would you have chosen to rise above?
The answer to this I'll never know,
But I'm sorry, Rick, that I let you go.

Oh, my, that brings tears. Life is precious and brief, to be sure. We must never take it for granted, whether it be our life or that of another.
