I Miss Greg and Bob

With funerals and families,
from losing two friends.
To think that our travels,
have met there sad ends.

Now the commotion
has faded away.
I’m missing them sadly
and badly today.

Each night in my dreams
I can see them so real.
Talk to them! Hang with them!
All so surreal!

But then I wake up
From what’s only a dream.
In waking things clearly
Are not what they seem.

Reality hits and
my heart quickly sinks.
These are the thought
that my saddened soul thinks.

I think of young men,
How it was we had met.
I think of our lifetimes
I’ll never forget.

To think it is over,
I’ll see them no more.
Which pains me in places
I’ve not pained before.

I’m missing the laughter
we joyfully shared.
I’m missing two friends
whom I loved and I cared.

I’m missing their voices!
Their faces! Their ear!
The heard me when
nobody else seemed to hear.

They felt all my feelings
and they wiped many tears.
They helped me get past
all my darkest of fears.

A lifetime of mem’ries,
is all that’s remaining.
That is the reason,
my heart’s deeply paining.

In the end, I am glad now,
for all I could do.
In touching their lives,
when they needed me too.
