Friendship

As I sit by the willows,

Lost in deep thought

Dear memories of you surface

With all that you've brought

To the friendship we've cherished

Throughout passing years,

Bringing joy and sweet laughter -

And just a few tears.

Remember the springtimes,

The summers and Falls,

The Winters and sleigh times?

How we savored them all!

The seasons have lengthened

And we've gone separate ways,

But I've never forgotten

Those blest, happy days.

And though space now divides us,

And keeps us apart,

I hardly need tell you

Your 're close in my heart,

For I'll always remember

With gratitude-plus

The importance of friendships,

Dear memories of us.
