Dan My Friend

Dan, everyone always called you "the man."
With your beautiful blue eyes,
Women complained of "getting lost in your eyes."
There wasn't a mile you wouldn't go for a friend,
You were always there for me to the end.
If I could bend the rules,
And Bring you back,
There would be no giving up,
Since you always had my back.
I remember drinking and watching sports with you,
And maybe even a little bud too.
Dan never left my side,
When life was rough,
He just said his favorite phrase "it's all good,"
And that was enough.
I know he loved his family and friends too,
It's hard to share the memories that were mine and his too.
I feel very special to have had you in my life,
I want to say thank you for all you did in my life.
Dan you saved me from myself,
And I'll love you forever.
My door is always open,
For you to stop by,
No need for a call or even a sigh.
I wish we had more time with you,
But I knew you were always true.
I will remember all the laughter,
And joyous crying that came after.
But most of all I'll remember the promise I made,
And never let your memory fade.
If I ever feel alone or lonely,
And the world seems dim,
Just give Dan a call and he'd make you grin.
I guess I don't need a telephone now,
Just look to the heavens and talk aloud.

I will treasure Dan's friendship forever, and continue to keep his memory alive. Alex and I will miss him forever and always keep a special place for Dan in our hearts. Dan, you know I love you and that will never change. Thank you for being my friend, I will never forget the times we shared.
