I miss you Augie!: Goodbye to you, my trusted friend. We've known each other since we were nine or ten. Together we've climbed hills and trees, Learned of love and ABC's, Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees. Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die, When all the birds are singing in the sky. Now that the spring is in the air, Pretty girls are everywhere. Think of me and I'll be there. We had joy, we had fun. We had seasons in the sun
