Good Friends Of Your Past

Good friends of your past you may not see again
But fond memories of them today you retain
Though today you may not recognize them if them you did see
Since you visualize them as they used to be
And though you have shed your last nostalgic tears
For your friends of the past you have not seen for years
You do think of them often though not every day
From your thoughts they are never that far away
Few things as they were in time known for stay
Your good friends of  the past in life have gone their own way
Though memories of old friends in your life does live on
You have forged new friendships and the past has gone
The now is all that matters in truth one can say
And at the stroke of midnight the past will be today.
