A Beloved Friend
A sun filled smile
A gentle touch
A caring heart
Strong beliefs
A dream of a future
Love to share
Some cultural confusion
A wish for things to be simple
Memories of a less complicated time
Pains of loss of past friends
Still full of hope for the future
For children born of a loving wife
For me he will always be
A beloved friend so dear
I’ll hold him forever near
A wish a brignt and full future
So he will return to his desert land
And build a home out of desert sand
A family he will raise
I wish him happiness through all his days.
