The last thing you said to me

Is that I don't owe you or anyone

An apology, that the things I'm

Dealing with weren't chosen by me.

Those words are staying with me

I go over them to this day and

They make the tears come 'cause

They're so you...

The kindness you've given

Me over the years, as you know,

It's not been a regular experience

But you stood by me through it all

Hell or high water, no judgement

You always were present

You cared and you said so

I'm not sure why, but you did

And I'm so grateful to have had

The chance to cross your path

More than that, I feel very fortunate

And I'll hold you dear to my heart

Until it'll be my turn to go

I'll never forget you

And I'll miss you forever

You were truly one of a kind
