Happy Birthday Bud

It’s 5 years since you’ve been gone bud
I so wish you were still here
I think about you so often
When I do, I shed a tear

Today would have been your birthday
I’m sure we’d have celebrated well
We’d have had several beers and cocktails
We’d have so many tales to tell

I remember all the laughs we had
Throughout our years as mates
We’d use your Fiesta to go away
Get ourselves in some right states

We spent many years at your home
Playing pool in the attic and games
We’d often stop to secretly smoke
So we didn’t play many frames

We loved playing cricket together
Often travelled all over the place
It didn’t matter where we went
You’d always have a smile on your face

So I’m lifting a glass in your memory
To wish you a happy birthday
I’ll remember you forever bud
The happy memories will always stay
