Notes About The Poem

Family and friendship are the most important things in our lives. It is best when the line between the two merges. 

The Visit

The Visit
By Franklin Price

Your heart is big, you took some time
To visit for awhile
So glad that you are in our lives
To bring us both a smile

You came and helped us to contend
Took illness off our mind
More than a friend, you're family 
So loving and so kind

We talked about the times we had
Sang a favorite song or two
We  entertained each other
Cooked a favorite meal for you

The time passed way too quickly
The visit days ran out
The memories still linger
That's what friendship's all about

Whether you are here or not
Our amity will grow
Memories, both old and new,
Are the friendship seeds we sow

We'll keep in touch by internet,
A call, a present, or a card.
Or in my case, this poetry
It's really not the hard

Thank you so much for your much valued friendship
