My Friend.

by taighler   Mar 21, 2008


He was My friend
he made me smile
his name was Orville
and he's been gone for a while

i loved him like a brother
the way he made me laugh
we were in this together
both of us, forever

but one day,
Orville got sicker
he didn't look to well
and the tumors were bigger

Orville fought strong
stronger than most
he was so full of pain
that it was God's way of saying,
it's time to go.

i prayed for his life
while i cried myself to sleep
i prayed to the angels
for them his soul to keep

he went home one day
and told his daddy so,
daddy I'm tired and
it's time for me to go

his dad said you've done good son
your friend, she would be proud
she's gonna miss you Orville
and me, your mom, well we'll miss you too

Orville closed his eyes
and took a deep breath
at my funeral
tell no one to be sad
this is good thing
there's no more pain
no more pain for me.
