Don't Dawdle

Lost my buddy yesterday,
Today is quite a day,
Happy to see it,
Wish he could too.

But now…
Immediately so,
He’s just a memory.

If a man leaves a mark, though,
Deep down in my being,
A change upon my soul,
Then his mark beats on,
With me as I go. 

So today, I’ll gaze upon this day with some of his perspective, too.
I’ll be brave enough for two.
Do my best to stir another buddy’s soul anew.
