Jeff Bresee Poet Rhyme

Lifelong Friend

When all the leaves fall from the trees,
what does it mean to you and me?
Perhaps it wasn't meant to be
as now we reach the end.

Is there some place we didn't go?
We tried every fork in the road,
and never seemed to find a home.
My dear, what's at the end?

But we're ok. Yeah, certainly
we could have done things differently.
But side by side we took this ride
and so what is to gain,

by dwelling on what could have been,
and looking back time and again
at what we didn't have -
what’s there to gain?

But rather let's just you and I
enjoy what we have left and try
to make the most of it
my lifelong friend.

Because all that matters now is we
are still together, can’t you see.
That’s all that’s ever mattered…
in the end.
