Goodbye my friend

Goodbye my friend

7^th August 2006

The Protector

I liked the way you looked after me.

I liked the way you kept the sun off my face.

I liked the way you kept the rain off my head.

I liked the way you could provide a dark corner to hide in.

The Giver

I liked the way I could share you with others.

I liked the way that everyone wanted to wear you.

I liked the way people smiled when they had you on.

I liked the way you made little kids feel special.

The Flawed One

I liked the way you were not perfect.

I liked the way the platted leather around your brim would often come lose.

I liked the way that the dust from the Philippines and Africa was ground deep into your leather.

I liked the way the sun had bleached you in an uneven way.

I liked the way that you were stained by a drunk Englishman and his beer.

I like the way you had a "Classic Kiwi" badge on your outside and a "Made in Australia" tag on the inside.

I liked the way you had character.

The Friend

I miss you my friend.

I wish you were on my head.

I wish you were not on some unknown African's head.
