Been awhile my friend.

Good song made me write this.

- Been awhile my friend.

I visit my good friend,

the ground was cold and I brought his favorite beer.

I take one Budweiser and I leave the five remainders on his grave.

I sit and I clean-up the few weeds around his grave and I read the note 

from his daughter in some fresh flowers.

"Dear Daddy, I miss you, I love you and I remember you."

I told my friend. Been awhile and I miss your laughter.

Your baby girls are beautiful mamas and I got old.

Please keep a seat open for me, I hope one day.

At the soldier table, we can talk of family,

we can talk of the good days and I will laugh again.

I stood up and I saluted the lonely grave with the Silver Star posted.

I told the cold day. I remember you my friend.

Touching dear Coyote. Hard to lose our friends along the way. I have lost many, mainly due to cancers. Good friends made overs the years who have left many memories. I like how you visit your old soldier buddy and talk and drink with him, as though he is still on this plane. Maybe one day we will meet our friends again in another life. I hope so.
