FRIENDSHIP POEM

AROUND THE CORNER I HAVE A FRIEND
IN THIS GREAT CITY THAT HAS NO END
YET THE DAYS GO BY AND WEEKS RUSH ON
AND BEFORE I KNOW IT A YEAR IS GONE
AND I NEVER SEE MY OLD FRIENDS FACE
FOR LIFE IS A SWIFT AND TERRIBLE RACE
HE KNOWS I LIKE HIM JUST AS WELL
AS IN THE DAYS WHEN I RANG HIS BELL
AND HE RANG MINE BUT WE WERE YOUNGER THEN
AND NOW WE ARE BUSY TIRED MAN
TIRED OF PLAYING A FOOLISH GAME
TIRED OF TRYING TO MAKE A NAME
TOMORROW I SAY I WILL CALL ON JIM
JUST TO SHOW THAT I M THINKING OF HIM
BUT TOMORROW COMES AND TOMORROW GOES
AND DISTANCE BETWEEN GROWS AND GROWS
AROUND THE CORNER YET MILES AWAY
HERE'S A TELEGRAM SIR, JIM DIED TODAY
AND THAT'S WHAT WE GET AND DESERVE IN THE END
AROUND THE CORNER A VANISHED FRIEND
REMEMBER TO ALWAYS SAY WHAT YOU MEAN
IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE TELL THEM
DON'T BE AFRAID TO EXPRESS YOURSELF
REACH OUT AND TELL SOMEONE WHAT THEY MEAN TO U
BCOZ WHEN YOU DECIDE THAT IT IS THE RIGHT TIME
IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE
SEIZE THE DAY NEVER HAVE REGRETS
SMILE EVEN THROUGH YOUR TEARS.....
