today
my friend passed away
he wa a neighbor
next door
he died
silently

he was there
for mom when she passed on
he's been there
for dad as he goes on
now
he's passed on

silently
i am here
silently
i face our fear
silently
i hold death near

a friend
an end
death
the life's lsst breath

he was there
today
he was there
yesterday

today
he passed away
he passed on
an old man
gone on
