My Old Friend

the Drummer breaks the silence
a single drum for you my friend
no more shall the tears stain across your face
no more shall the devils hold your hand
the crisp breeze settles fear
a gentle breeze for you my friend
Destiny wraps Her arms around you
and holds you tight to Her bossom
Mother has called you back
so other may issue forth
and the Piper leads your way through the Gates
playing for you the song of Serenity

my old friend
though time now is gone
you shall surely live on
in our dreams
in our memories
and in our hearts
so slumber peacefully my friend
until next we meet again
