Ode To a Friend

In times of parting, sorrow does reign Yet a face of calmness and dignity we feign In a world where material things are the measure A true friend is, indeed, a time honored treasure Saying Goodbye. It should be a crime For Goodbye is a memory frozen in time But when two friends hold love in their hearts A matter of distance cannot keep them apart Though time may elapse, though beauty may fade There's a longing in our hearts we cannot evade When the sky fills with rain and the sun doesn't shine I'll cherish the dreams that were once yours and mine In order to cope with our division We must strive to meet a single provision Wherever we are, whatever we do We must always remember our friendship is True
