I had a friend and he had a foe
His foe was cancer, a foe we all know
He fought the hardest, he fought to win
He fought with dignity, his enemy within
The mind still there, but the body couldn’t last
I lost my dear friend, this August past
He’s still sorely missed, but there’s one thing I know
He has gone somewhere, where his foe can’t go
