This poem is dedicated to John Cuckson

May 1946 to August 2026.

Friends

God gives us friends to cherish

Of that you surely know

To share our special moments

And when we’re feeling low

They can’t be bought or bartered

In fact they come for free

And I am truly grateful

You’ve been a friend to me

Thought To Ponder – What comes from the heart, goes to the heart. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge

When raindrops hit a river

At once they disappear

Just where we think they’ve gone too

To us might seem quite clear

They’ve gone to join the oceans

That span across the earth

The very place in history

That once had gave them birth

And we, we are not different

From what just might have been

A thought within a prism

That now lives out its dream

For like the tiny raindrops

We will at last become

A wave upon the oceans

Where life itself begun
