The paths we take now seem to part <br />And our feet can naught but take the cue <br />We've come thus far both hand in hand <br />But feet and hand are both with one <br />So, leave we must with heavy hearts <br />As life, it seems, gives no other choice. <br /> <br />A friend you've been in need <br />A faithful friend in deed <br />Sticking closer than even a brother <br />And it pains me so to see you go <br />It hurts me so to know I'll go <br />Yet, hope I must to find a friend <br />Though, none will fit as snugly as you. <br /> <br />I leave dry-eyed, aye, I do <br />And entreat you to do the same <br />For, though, my heart overflows as an ocean <br />My face must be the Island <br />For I wish to keep the last sight of you a smile <br />To hold dear to my heart. <br /> <br />My arms in the air, my eyes filled full <br />My mouth held tight in forced submission <br />For, wish I do to say, 'Come back' <br />But, 'Good bye' I say to you, my friend <br />For, in life, we part to meet again <br />For a brighter tommorow lies beyond the horizon <br /> <br />'Our paths may later cross', I daresay <br />And hope I do to find you well <br />Our paths may never cross, maybe <br />For such is life in it's uncertainty. <br />So make good your life ahead with new friends <br />But remember me in smiles and in tears, as I will you.<br /><br />Ehi Abah<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waving-arms/
