This old poem of mine appeared randomly on my phone yesterday so I have taken the hint and used it on this weeks update.

LOST FRIENDS

THEY SNEAK RIGHT UP BESIDE ME

ALTHOUGH THEY’RE OUT OF SIGHT

THOSE MEMORIES OF PAST TIMES

THAT BATHED ME IN YOUR LIGHT

FUNNY, SILLY, MOMENTS

WHEN WE HAD TIME TO SPEND

WITHIN EACH OTHERS MAGIC

THAT MEANT WE WERE CLOSE FRIENDS

WE SOMETIMES SAT IN SILENCE

WITH NOT A WORD TO SPEAK

FOR IN THOSE PRECIOUS SECONDS

OUR KNOWING SEEMED TO LEAP

ALL OF LIFES ADVENTURES

WE GRASPED WITH LOVE AND GLEE

AND LIVED EACH SINGLE MOMENT

IN HOPE THAT WE WOULD SEE

THAT WHEN THE SKIES THEY DARKEN

AND EACH IS LEFT ALONE

THE LIGHT THAT WAS OUR FRIENDSHIP

WILL SERVE UP JOYS WE’VE SOWN

Thought To Ponder – Study the past, if you would divine the future – Confucius

Who Am I

A question from your Guardian Angel

Who am I, what do you see

A whisper of a promise

That maybe I could be

Its likely I’m a memory

Of a day that’s passed you by

Or that quiet little moment

Upon the edge of time

I rest right here before you

For nowhere can I go

Just a whisper of a promise

That once you used to know

Before the world of wonder

It lost it’s magic spell

In a age so full of promise

You used to know so well

The cause of life is costly

And brings it share of scars

But God and all his Angels

Will make forever ours

For forever is a garden

With flowers full of care

And an everlasting promise

You’ll find me standing there
