A friend is cherished
and held quite near
The friendship given
is held quite dear
When our friend is gone
an no longer near
We cannot help
but shed a tear

The friendship perceived
from a friend held close
In a child's eye
shall be missed the most
We shed our tears
and show our grief
With memories near
we get relief

We've learned to love
and share and grieve
and hope someday
again, our friend to see

For Erin's friend, Brownie RIP 02-13-2011
