Good Old Boy

I sat on the porch, the world stood still
You’d find your way beside me, you always will
I spoke of my dreams, the weight of my fears
And in your silence, you calmed my tears

Even as the years turned shadows to grey
Your quiet presence never drifted away

You were the light on my darkest days
A steady heart in life’s wild maze
Though the yard feels empty, the echo remains
A bond unbroken, through joy and pain

I remember the first time, the way you chose me
Among the chaos, you were all I could see
Through laughter and loss, you stayed near my side
A guardian, a friend, a soul I confide

Even now, when the world feels cold
I close my eyes, and your warmth unfolds
In the rustling leaves, in the quiet air
I still feel your presence everywhere

You were the light on my darkest days
A steady heart in life’s wild maze
Though the yard feels empty, the echo remains
A bond unbroken, through joy and pain

Now I sit alone, the world stills the same
But the love you gave will forever remain
