For Contest, “Beautiful or Broken”
Sponsor, Constance La France
Our circle of friends is now broken;
the changes it's made are unspoken.
From twelve to five- now just a token;
our circle of friends is now broken.
Each year, one or two of them- leaving
to move away- kinfolk receiving.
Some- too ill for outings- home cleaving;
and others in Heaven- we're grieving.
Our circle is broken- despairing-
so missing the unified caring.
Those left behind- slowly repairing
to do our best- changes forbearing.
Our circle of friends is now broken;
now leaving those left so heartbroken.
Our fun dates are empty- not open;
our circle of friends is now broken.
