Friends are far and few to mention
Once gained best not let go - lest they dwindle
To none at all - what a nightmare thought
To be on your own, lonely and distraught.

Trust - like friends are hard to gain
So hard to earn that hand of friendship
The olive branch that lasts forever-an eternity
Of dedication, love and honesty between you and me.

Where did it all begin - where does it end
Never if eternity's the name - or state of mind
Just day to day living - enjoy while it lasts
Life's too precious - too short so live it fast.

Those moments in time - recorded on film
Like pictures, just glimpses of the past
That flood back emotions of joy, laughter and tears
So many lost experiences throughout the years.

As my mind grows weary and the memories fade
Of past friends from years gone by in distant times
And families from long ago - never to be seen
I have two new heirs - my friends - Jason &; Zoe.
