Old and battered

I see your old and battered face
I remember these lines so well
The heartfelt worries and the laughs
They represent your life, they tell

The story of your ups and downs
Compassion granted to your friends
The vital things you taught your kids
And learning lessons never ends

You’re almost at the end of life
Just a few breaths are left for you
Thank you that you have been my friend
And you always loved me, I knew
