My friend Sam
sits next to me in class
He is funny and goofy
and always makes me laugh
We have a good time
and I'm glad Sam's my friend
How was I to know
that was coming to an end?

My friend Sam
is quite a guy
He has lots of friends
and no one would question 'why'
Sam is nice and caring'
always willing to lend a hand
Why God chose Sam,
I can now truly understand

My friend Sam
said to me after class today
'I'll see you later' He touched my arm and we walked the other way
If only I'd known those were his last words
I would ever hear
The last time I would see him'
I'd have held him so dear

My friend Sam
didn't show up for school today
At one o'clock the teachers gathered
They had something to say
They read us a letter
the news was bad ' my teacher cried
There had been an accident
My friend Sam'did not survive

My friend Sam was only twelve years old
when he was laid to rest
My heart was sad for such a long time,
but now I know I'm blessed
Knowing Sam was a true gift
sometimes painful to comprehend
God touches our lives through angels
Sam'my angel'my friend.
