The Friend
The old man walked alone today
His head hung low while on his way
His walking stick tapped as he went
His pace was slow, his energy spent
You see he used to have a friend
Who walked with him from start to end
This friend was warm and good and kind
The best friend one could ever find
A day ago he lost his friend
This precious life came to an end
It wasn't just him who mourned about that
I also mourned about that cat
The old man's cat was my friend too
It came to see me, all week through
I miss that cat and wish it were here
My friend, when no one else was there
