Dear Friend

Because you are my friend, I see

life in a different way

And joy I had not hoped to know,

adds sparkle to each day.

A long forgotten memory

arises from the past

Of all we are allowed to keep

and things that never last

But seasons come and seasons go

and we remain a part

Of all true nobility

we carry in our heart

A friend to understand and care

that’s how it ought to be

And so I pray the road you walk

… is wide enough for me.
