Been awhile my friend.

 Been awhile my friend.

I visit my good friend,

the ground was cold and I brought his favorite beer.

I take one Budweiser and I leave the five remainders on his grave.

I sit and I clean-up the few weeds around his grave and I read the note 

from his daughter in some fresh flowers.

“Dear Daddy, I miss you, I love you and I remember you.”

I told my friend. Been awhile and I miss your laughter.

Your baby girls are beautiful mamas and I got old.

Please keep a seat open for me, I hope one day.

At the soldier table, we can talk of family,

we can talk of the good days and I will laugh again.

I stood up and I saluted the lonely grave with the Silver Star posted.

I told the cold day. I remember you my friend.
