A Friend So Dear
Betwixt here and a far off place,
I have a friend so dear.
If I could once but see that face
Or sometime, be as near.
T’would not be such a fall from grace,
To bring my friend some cheer,
As this would help to fill a space,
And thus relieve some fear.
My friend doth live a gentle pace,
And life has shifted gear.
With fortitude, no urge to race,
Contentment will appear.
Bad memories leave, oh! but a trace,
And thinking shall be clear.
You’ll find yourself a proper base,
To live from year to year
Betwixt here and a far off place,
I have a friend so dear.
If I could once but see that face
Or sometime, be as near.
T’would not be such a fall from grace,
To bring my friend some cheer,
As this would help to fill a space,
And thus relieve some fear.
My friend doth live a gentle pace,
And life has shifted gear.
With fortitude, no urge to race,
Contentment will appear.
Bad memories leave, oh! but a trace,
And thinking shall be clear.
You’ll find yourself a proper base,
To live from year to year
