Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow
Friends are few and far between.
The older I get, the more I realize,
How much they mean to me.
As children, you think every ones is your friend,
Even those you've only just met,
Till they leave you to fend.
Dropping in number, the fair weathered leave.
Onward they go, leaving you nothing to cleave.
They are gone like yesterday
As the sun did set, they too did fade
But some are special,
Remaining strong, still today
Like diamonds, time chisels,
And they sparkle even more.
A timeless precious beauty.
Solid to the core
As I sit and count my friends.
Only one hand is needed.
The ones that have been there,
Through thick and thin.
The rest have been weeded.
The remaining few, are the jewels of my crown.
The ones I call when I am down.
The trusted friends, that I too can cheer up.
The sound of their voice, refills my cup.
I do not mourn, the lack of more.
For these special ones,
Make my spirit soar.
How lucky I am, to have you in my life.
Through the good and the bad,
And even the strife.
This being the season,
When we think of gifts.
I think of you,
And I'm thankful.
For I am rich.
For what I have, no money could buy.
No price could be placed.
Thou many have tried.
I feel so fortunate,
To have a friend in you.
You have remained.
Steadfast and true.
So just for you I write this now.
To thank you, in the only way
I know how.
To say I'm sorry if I neglected to let you know,
I appreciate, you and respect you so.
I trust you,and feel honored to be part
Of your life.
If you were gone my world,
Just would not be right.
I don't want to wait, until it's to late.
Leaving unspoken words left up to fate.
For what if tomorrow was never to come?
Leaving words unspoken,
And left undone.
Taken nothing for granted,
I value you greatly,
I hope you know.
You are my true friend,
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
And I love you so.
