RUSTY

You required so little, yet gave so much
Always without question or complaint
Happy to be alive, with your family
And never too tired for a friend
You didn't judge, loyalty was free
All the things a friend should be

Years pass as memories fade away
Since you lost your life that awful day
But I will never forget my hero and friend
As your spirit flys free across the heavens
For all my life, I will think of you
But know that God needs good friends too

I await the day til we meet again
With dreams of a day gone by
A soft wind blows the leaves of Autumn
And the streams run clear and deep
As forever I wander the hills of my mind
With my patient friend right behind
