Our True Friendship's Destiny
Sometimes, it's hard to understand,
Why people always come and go;
Sometimes, their sweet goodbyes are more painful,
Especially if you love them so.
Along this winding road of life,
Sometimes we need to know,
When goodbyes broke our heart and made us cry,
Prove that in ourselves, we can always be true.
Let not heartbreak be the end,
Remember that in real friendship has no limit;
As long as in our heart, good memories linger,
In us, good friends will likely be here forever.
Looking back the times when I met a friend,
Who was so sweet, loving, faithful and true;
Seemed as Jesus came personally in my life,
To stay, take good care of me and love me so.
You and I really need to know,
That in friendship, two people both grow;
Truly, good and loyal friends make us strong,
They are always there to lean on.
Don't ever forget these words, dear friend
Only in prayer, God keeps us together;
In this world, we do meet friends
Some like us much, some are nice and some aren't,
Most importantly, we grow and learn from them.
Of all the things in this world,
Bird's passage is by which meeting friends is most compared;
A person whom we've felt the true friendship,
In our heart he will forever remain,
Although, you say goodbye or thank you to him,
Still, friendship isn't the end.
Note: A goodbye message to my dear best friend, Sally De Ocampo who left for U.S.. Her initials appear on each stanza. She requested this poem from me on her birthday.
