He came to say good-bye To his Old Friend For the last time He knew all present there All displayed Their heart's feelings. They wore it upon their faces Tears rolled down faces Some mourned loud The silent ones Just stared at the ground. This he observed Before he saw him, Fighting back tears Thought he was napping Wearing his new suit. Looking cool as he did While he enjoyed moments Of gatherings With closed friends. Life of the party, great personality Plus all the qualities Of the proper gentleman, He was Wearing his new suit. By: William Bonilla 08/23/06
