A Time Of Innocence

He was young

And so was I

I can still recall

The day he died

Ours was a deep love

Born in a time of innocence

Of playing games and sharing a baseball glove

Games of tag and jumping the neighbor's fence

He was a best friend

When such words need not exist

A time of not having to contend

A time of goodness of heart and bliss

Mutually we shared the joy of being

Embracing the warmth of our love

Though he may be gone from my seeing

I still feel his presence from on high above
