My Friend To The End An Elegy

Eulogy to a faithful friend

Today I mourn the loss

Of a good and trusted friend

Who shared with me the company

Thru hard times thick and thin

I held him close unto my heart

This companion, confidante and brother

Who became my means

To put thoughts and dreams

To paper as could no other

But the lifeblood of all of us

Is finite in the end

So…with a hole in my heart

And a tear in my eye

To my faithful friend

Until the very end

Goodbye ol’ Bic

…Goodbye…
