A True Friend

A true friend is for life this well may be so
But to our lives many do come and do go
And always of the past memories stir up tears
For friends of our young days we have not seen for years
The bond of friendship is weakened when in life we move on
And the past just a memory of the forever gone
And only the memories with us do remain
Of our once were friends we may not meet again
Time does not wait for us as some like to say
And every day one nearer to our last night and day
And people to our lives do come and do go
And your friend of the past may be your present foe
But a true friend as your friend a lifetime will stay
That is how it does seem to me anyway.
