Hello, my friend

Hello my friend                    

       

I miss you

I miss your smile

Your loving advice

Your kindness most of all

I remember with fondness

The days of our youth

Choir and music

Filling our lives

Councils for music

Trips and singing too

How we revelled in those short years

Entertaining, and seemingly long

Time marched on

But we kept in touch

You came to my wedding

And to the hospital

When my daughter was born

Friends forever we declared.

And we went separate ways

Only getting in touch

Over time and space

Through the magic of the computer

We were reunited

Friends as if time

Hadn’t passed

But those days are long ago

And now in a blink of an eye

They’re gone

Memories of time passed

But one thing still remains

The bond never broken

Or friendship lives on

Not even death can break

A friendship so strong

You still are

And always will be

My friend

Forever on my mind

And in my heart

Happy birthday Rose
