The RIver

Friends lost and won
On life’s river
Bring smiles and sorrow

Wonder where they all could go
When once so close
With secrets shared

Yet new secrets we give to those
Who’ve come to replace the old
New friends true and real

A host of people in the flow
Of every life in every time
We meander with the river

Docking at new friend’s doors
After pushing off from the old
We anchor only briefly
