Goodbye My Friend Poem by Paul Reed

Thanks my friend
For staying to the end
For sharing those days,
For transporting me
Setting me free
From my stubborn ways;

We weren't meant to be
You and me
Your clock said many miles,
From the to and fro
From the long ago
And the worn-out smiles;

But your twilight song
To me belonged
We formed a team,
An unlikely pair
Forged alliance rare
On time's endless stream;

The run to work and back
Turned tight to slack
Seals turned to shred,
But you carried on
With great aplomb
No bitter words were ever said;

Now you are old
The trail is cold
It's straights and bends,
No more entice
Your sacrifice
Here the journey ends;

Goodbye my friend
This is the end
Our paths must stray,
But I won't forget
My solemn debt
For your yesterday.
