In the gentle whispers of the wind, In the laughter of the distant stream, Your memory dances, my dear friend, Like a cherished, fleeting dream. In childhood's realm, we roamed so free, Through fields of green and skies so blue, Your smile, a beacon of pure glee, In every moment, forever true. In games we played and secrets shared, In dreams we wove, so bright and bold, Your spirit soared, forever dared, In memories treasured, never old. Though time may pass and seasons change, And life's relentless tides may flow, In my heart, you'll always remain, A cherished friend, in sun and snow. Though you've journeyed to realms unknown, Your light shines bright in heaven's glow, In every breeze and every stone, In every whisper, I'll feel you grow. Though tears may fall, and hearts may ache, Your laughter echoes through the years, In every sunrise, every lake, Your spirit lingers, calms my fears. So here's to you, my childhood friend, In every memory, you reside, Though our journey together may end, Your love and light will never hide. Rest in peace, dear friend, until we meet again
