None Nobler, Just There

Half my friends are dead
Some other amount gone
To places that could only be dreamed of
And I cannot follow now
I do not want new friends
For they could not compare to those lost
I want the others back
With faults and all

I walk where we walked before
Their words now whispers in the wind
Their faces only images
Of the everlasting truth
That life cannot be without death

Half of my friends are dead
Some other amount gone
I feel alone in this world
And often wonder why
It couldn't have been me instead
I wish my God would bring those I loved back
As they were
None nobler by any means
Just there
