Please walk a while with me my friend, <br />Along life’s beach which has no end, <br />Beside its oceans ebbs and flow, <br />That special place where true friends go. <br /> <br />Hold my hand and watch the sea, <br />And wonder why all birds fly free; <br />Your inner soul may ask you ‘why’? <br />Don’t shed a tear, no time to cry, <br /> <br />For God made every grain of sand, <br />He made it bold, He made it grand, <br />He made it thus, that you and me, <br />Might wonder for eternity. <br /> <br />If I love you, and you love me, <br />Then surely it was destiny, <br />That you and I should be as one, <br />To sail into that setting sun. <br /> <br />But for the while just be my friend, <br />My love for you will never end; <br />For time will set, of that I’m sure… <br />Our sails towards God’s heavenly shore.<br /><br />Alf Hutchison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-friend-168/
