Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

Joyful Memory of Friends

There are tears of some old memories
                            
                                     But joyful ones abound

                              Friends that shared my life awhile

                                   I wish were still around

                             The sunshine slating on the field

                                 Chewing on blades of grass

                                 The unique sense of humor

                                That caused hilarious laughs

                              Bracelet strings a wish or prayer

                                      Tied in every knot

                             Unanswered though those wishes

                             Treasured friendships never forgot

                                An old guitar, a favorite star

                          Best friends no matter where they are

                              Tucked in my heart forever, ever

                                 Memories that perish never

                            As I remember, A whispered prayer

                              Of light, I leave on heaven's stair

                            My spoken prayers to God, the King

                              Where joyful angels fly and sing

                               Prayers for friends of yesterday

                                   I cherish still in memory

                                    Within my heart to stay

Valsa George September 19, 2022 at 12:05 AM What a lovely tribute to friends and friendship ! Good friends always stay around though we do not always see them. But in times of need, they pop up from somewhere as stars from behind the clouds. Your heart is full of gratitude for them and you not only treasure all your old friends, but also blanket them in your prayers. Sweet poem BJ.
