The Friendship Prayer

Today someone I know
Lost someone very dear
His current reality is my greatest fear
For I know if it would happen to me
It would surely break my heart
That's why I ask god everyday
Not to make me play that part
To give me endless hours
To give me infinate days
To make the years go by slow
Not in a thoughtless haze
To see them laugh and smile
Forever and a day
To make memories
Until my time comes to depart
To take with me to the grave
Those memories in my heart
