Jason, My Friend by Ben Laney

I will never forget
Your bright shining face
Every time you walked in
How you lit up the place
Your sweet easy manner
Always made me smile
I know I'll miss you
For a long, long while

I still can't believe
You are really gone
It seems like a strange dream
That just goes on and on
I find myself wanting
To go to the door
And see you there smiling
Up at me once more

Now the frost on the fields
Will melt in the sun
And another day
Most likely will come
But no season will pass
Without thoughts of you
For there's no other heart
That could fill your shoes

May the light of your memory
Shine on for us all
And always remind us
How you walked so tall
You brought so much joy
And many were touched
Touched by a little boy
And his precious love

Jason, my friend,
I know someday
I'll see you again
I will keep thoughts of you
Near to me
Close to my soul
Until then
So until then
Jason, My friend
