A friend is a friend forever

Once you have been my friend,

I cannot let you go

Even though you’ve long gone ‘round the bend.

 

You are in my memories, and you are in my heart

The time we spent together,

I cherish always

And love you forever and ever.

 

It could have been a decade ago, maybe more or less

When last I saw your face,

But you still make me smile

When I think upon your grace.

 

Our time together seemed so short

It was but for a season,

But God gave you to me

For a very special reason.

 

The gift you were to me

I carry in my soul,

You gave me the gift of you

And that helps make me whole.

 

I long to be with you again

Maybe I will be some special time,

Until then my friend

I wish you God’s speed;  His reason and rhyme.
