These poems are dedicated to my friend of more than 35 years who is on his last legs in life. I will miss you my old friend:((
Jim I
Your time
here on Earth
Was full of
mirth
And laughter
We shared
the good times
And
weathered the bad
Our
friendship was all we had
Memories
were made
Both happy
and sad
Your
friendship made me glad
But now your
life
Is at the
end
The strife
cuts into my heart
Like a knife
I will miss
you
My old
friend

Jim II
We met on a sunny day
You were going to graduate
Me, I just wanted to get high
and play
I took your recommendation
And bought the hash
For my stash
Our friendship took off
Like a rocket at blast-off
Through thick and thin
Our friendship was akin
To a brotherhood
That began in childhood
As the years passed
Our friendship grew
Memories amassed
Mixing together like stew
Filling our brains and heart
Like abstract art
Now after 35 years
It will come to an end
That will be full of tears
As you ascend
To the pearly gate
To meet your fate
I will miss you
My dear friend Jim
Thank you for being true
Even when your light is dim
We are friends forever
