"Banjo." She whispered so suddenly.
"I know your death is near, but listen to me.
You could be gone in a blink of an eye,
So I want you to hear
That you are so dear.
Banjo your grace and such charm,
I know you never meant any harm,
But listen, I want you to hear,
You, are just so dear.
Banjo, your eyes have such life,
But now they're lost in tunnels of death,
Listen as I lay down my pride,
I want you to know,
In my heart you're not dead."
