Goodbye Sammy my dear friend,
Moonlight says you will accompany me
for the rest of my journey, and I agree,
I hope in your sleep you dream
fondly of the friend I tried to be

So walk with me as I continue on
I shall remember you always
with love and good thoughts
and regret that I could not be there
to sooth the start of your new journey,
caught up as I am in struggling
to be the man I want to be

I would have whispered to you,
as you drifted off to sleep
farewell and all the best speed
run fast, run far and, run free
until lungs burn and legs tire
then find a breeze blown tree
on a cloud strewn hill
that looks down on me

Know that when I come to my end
I will see you again my friend.
we can run and play pain free
when I am finally done trying
to be the man I think I want to be

Mortoch
