Lost Friendship

This time, it’s forever, Now the end could come, All this painful silence, Thought that we were friends, How is it this silence? Too much for me to bear, Aching from my heart, How can I endure? Each day as it goes by, Our friendship pass nigh, With every spoken sorry, I’ve meant it as I sigh, And as the time keeps ticking, My heart seems to wonders why, Thinking of our friendship, Our love is passing by, Compelling me to say, I’m sorry! Why, You seemed to close the door, Slammed it that way, Splitting us apart, I just wanted to say, I’ve tried to make amends, Now it’s up to you, I’m always here and waiting, All my life long through. I’ve tried so many times, Now it’s up to you.

It's clasped together firmly With a love that's deep and true, And it's rich with happy memories and fond recollections, too... Time can't destroy its beauty For, as long as memory lives, Years can't erase the pleasure That the joy of friendship gives... For friendship is a priceless gift That can't be bought or sold, But to have an understanding friend Is worth far more than gold... And the Golden Chain of Friendship Is a strong and blessed tie Binding kindred hearts together As the years go passing by. Helen Steiner Rice
