my old friend

النحله · 30/10/2006

I believe whatever God has in store for

us will be for us.
The poem is very true, unfortunately.
This is the poem:
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friend's
face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger
then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,

Tired of trying to make a name.

"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on
Jim

Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles
away,

"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you
mean.

If you love someone, tell them.

Don't be afraid to express yourself.
>
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.

Because when you decide that it is the right time it
>>>might
be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.

And most importantly, stay close to your friends

and family, for they have helped

make you the person that you are
today.
