the day i lost my best friend

To the best friend and family 

A friend is someone you cherish

Someone you trust the most

A friend is someone you who is always there

When you need them the most

You are that friend to me

Today you let the whole world see

How a father looks after his son

Well done Derek you are that one

Our friendship goes back many years

We have come through a lot of fears

We have travelled many miles together

Each mile making us closer friends than ever

I have never had a friend like you

I would say that you are the best

You are brand new

I was so proud of you today

You done better than me! What can I say?

My other best friend she went to heaven

To stay in her new home

But she will always be with us

No matter where in the world we should roam

My best friend? Think of what you have

And also your loss

If you let yourself go

Our wee Margaret! She will be cross

You have a wonderful family Shaun, Nataly, and the kids

So you love them cherish them

They are a wonderful wee family

And your broken heart it will mend

Love every one of you

I am here for every one of you at any time

Your loving friend Andy Bennie
