My Friend

A few days ago, I lost a dear friend of mine. I should be saying, “We lost ……” rather than “I….”.
We lost him to greed, lost him to self – control, lost him to ………… life!
There is a void now.

Always a Friend – Ray Charles

You are always a friend

Someone I can talk to
Always a friend
Someone I can always turn to
Time and again
When it seems as if my whole world is caving in

You are always a friend
Someone I can believe in
Always a friend
Someone I’ve been needing so
Since I don’t know when
A shoulder I can lean on every now and then

We’ve been friends from the beginning
I love the way you always smile at me
Oh can’t you see I'm willing
Now my only wish is that someday I will be

Always a friend
Someone who’ll always love you
Always a friend
Someone who’ll be worthy of you
Right from the start
You and me together
The two of us forever
To see in you the love I wish you’d see in me
Babe, let it be always your friend
Let me be always your friend


This is an ode to him!
May his soul keep smiling always as he was!
May you rest in peace, My Friend!
