Upon life's vast and ever-shifting stage, Where every soul must play its part and go, There walked two friends, their spirits free and sage, Through seasons bright and storms of winter's snow.

Together faced they life's relentless tide, A bond unbreakable by time or fate. But as all tales, one chapter's end arrived, And one was called beyond the mortal gate.

The world, once vibrant, turned to shades of gray, The laughter gone, the silence deep and stark. A soul now wanders, lost along the way, Illumined only by memories in the dark.

Yet in the heart, where true affections lie, Their friendship lives, undimmed beneath the sky.
