Dear Friend

Dear Friend, friend of mine
Lost within the shadows of time
Only to capture with swift memories
In bygone days of you and I

Do the trees remind your soul
Our many adventures of long ago
Do the streams remind your heart
The many years as it flows

Do the butterflies awaken feelings
Of innocent times and endless dreaming
Do you seek me amongst the stars
In reflection of life and its meaning

I love you my friend, I always have
Memorable times still make me laugh
Kept alive in my loving thoughts
As I write these words from my heart

My wish for your life has been kind
Loved for the sweetest soul you are
For I was there when your heart soared
Captured by my own in childhood times

Dear Friend, my dearest friend
Our innocence will never end
Kept safe in God’s sweet grace
In heavens meadow to play once again
