It's been now thirty-two years since I last saw your smile
it's the one thing I remember each year that has passed
there was so much more to you than I could have imagined
but it's always with a smile my memory holds fast…
you were a friend, a confidant a man I could trust
and you helped me to grow into all I've become
my confidence a part of the friendship you gave me
my strength a reminder of when there was none
I still remember each anniversary the twentieth of January
and sometimes it's so real it's as though I just heard
but its been thirty two years since I last heard your laughter
it's been thirty two years.. it sounds so absurd??
