Old friends after all these years.
Time lost, draws us near.
Like precious stones, from years past,
You lost your memory, your stones were cast.

Heaven didn't need you, on that grueling day,
When your truck veered astray.

Our path was broken, you wanted to remember,
To repair that which had been splintered.
I reminded you of each stone, how precious they were,
Like alabaster and myrrh.

One word you uttered, you called me "kid,"
A nick name I so adored, not forgotten nor forbid.
It was the most special stone to be consoled,
That which was a part of your inner soul.

We will stand together in life's renew.
Our friendship so close is because of you.
Love will abide, take it all in stride.
I am your "North- Star,"
Let my light shine within you, where ever you go,
Near or far.
