Goodbye David S.

David Stephens, my friend
I guess this is the end
Of life as you knew it
I guess you outgrew it

You left way too early
And now I feel surly
Man, I'm gonna miss you
Our friendship wasn't through

You were one of the good ones
I thought of you more than once
Lately, and I meant to call
When I heard about your fall

But now it's simply too late
That'll teach me to hesitate
Now I can't even say goodbye
David, why did you have to die

You were so easy to talk to
I knew you felt like I did, too
You were always so soft-spoken
For now, my spirit is broken

You were so talented
With things that you planted
May you bloom bright in Heaven
For all the love that you've given

Maybe God will put you
In charge of His garden
While you were here on earth
You had just gotten started

So I'll say goodbye for now
I don't know when, or even how
I hope to see you again
I'm glad you were my friend
