Good Friend

Moishe Wilansky

This past Sunday, An old friend of mine unfortunately happened to Die.
If only there was more time so I can stand closely with him by his Side.
What else can I do, But to continue to write this and try not to tear and Cry.
I was a friend and I was a Ally, I didn’t get the chance to say Goodbye.

I was Happy that day because I was hosting a BBQ, But until I heard the News.
It's sad, I saw a bottle of booze, I decided to drink it all because I couldn’t Refuse.
It feels like my time is wasting, I’ve choose to listen, so I cut it and started Pasting.
All I have is only one picture with him, I want to post it for you all to see, I miss Him.

It’s been a few years that I haven’t seen him, So I don’t really have that much to Say.
I was working, Missed the parade, There's another tragedy on this day, 4th of May.
Why do the best people in life cant last, Something is missing that I need to Ask.
Camp we were in the same bunk, If I went to Oheli Torah, We would be in the same Class.

Another shame that I couldn’t make it to another funeral, Am I still able to be Loyal.
Yes it's real, But its not happiness that I feel, Now I have to chill with him at the Ohel.
Am I supposed to be proud to create this and be the outsider of the whole Crowd.
I’m sorry, I'm sad and not carrying a smile on my frown, Instead I’m upset feeling Down.

When we saw each other we embraced, I recall he always had a smile on his Face.
I’ll never see that again, People should see how I feel and give me my little Space.
My parents will be proud when I finish writing ‘The Return’ which is my Book.
I would continue writing bout this, But its time for me to get back to Work.

When a heart breaks, Another heart breaks Even, again this is the Unforgiving.
After I wrote ‘Safe In HEAVEN’ Now you can all read what I always believe In.
Although you will never see this, As a honorable friend I just had to compose This.
Yet again, It is hard for me to expose this, But I don’t want anyone else to miss It.
