Through the years that I have wandered, <br />I have left a lot behind. <br />I have left all those old friends of mine. <br />Some have passed on to heaven, <br />some still remain who I see occasionally, <br />but for those who have gone <br />and I will never see anymore <br />this poem is just for them. <br />Their names shine across my memory <br />for now and always. <br />I can only hope they are looking down <br />as I write telling the world of their friendship <br />that I had as I grew through my life. <br />How they helped me overcome <br />at times torment and strife, <br />and encouraged me to better life <br />when I needed it the most. <br />When the world seemed unfair, <br />for me they were there. <br />For some I never had a chance <br />to say a final goodbye. <br />They were here and then gone <br />in the wink of an eye, <br />but the legacy of their friendship <br />still remains in my heart and memory, <br />for so I live, they will never be forgotten by me. <br /> <br /> <br />1 August 2007<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-friends-6/
