Here we are at the end of a season, <br />and as we depart today, <br />we take away all the memories <br />we have gathered during our stay. <br />We reflect on friendships we have made, <br />the ones we have lost and the ones we have. <br />Our leaving today is mixed with happiness, <br />sadness, and even a little regret <br />for the things we should have done <br />and did not get around to doing yet. <br />The happiness is all the laughter <br />we had while we were here, <br />the sadness if for the departed friends <br />whom we will never see again. <br />Though we will never see them, <br />their memories linger on. <br />They will still be with us, <br />even though they maybe gone. <br />As we leave today we must remember <br />the friends we have still, <br />and the new ones we have made. <br />As friends are so important within our daily lives. <br />They share our happiness <br />when our hearts are filled with joy. <br />Their comforting arms are around us <br />when times of sadness appear. <br />We must always remember <br />that we can never choose our family <br />only our friends, so our friends we must always <br />hold close to our heart. <br /> <br />19 October 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Author’s Note. <br />I gave this as my sermon on the last day of our season at the Western Town. As read, it to my congregation I felt as if I was reading a poem. Therefore, I have changed it to look like one. I never write conventional sermons, but ones that will appeal to any religion without offending anyone’s beliefs. <br />David Harris<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/end-of-a-season/
