I knew those rough hands

Welcomed that worn smile

Cherished those gentle eyes

We were best friends forever

I was taught to love

To respect my Earth

To show I cared

We were best friends forever

We worked outside

Cooked food for family

Were there for each other

We were best friends forever

We saw each other everyday

Hugged everyday

Talked everyday

We were best friends forever

Then that one day came

I didn’t see that loving face

We didn’t embrace

I had lost my best friend forever
