The Words Of Our Friend

Has it been that long ago 
Funny how time just slips Away,
I realize now that over half 
A century  has passed 
Yet it seems like it’s been only yesterday.
The events and the sorrows that had passed us by,
I wonder will  we ever know the reason why ?
That young man from Boston who told us together we  
Will find a better way,
Only to leave us that sunny November day.
The hopes and dreams were now  shattered and gone
But for now they are in our hearts and it’s from there they will go on and on 
And when that November day comes back again 
We’ll remember the man. the leader, and the words of our friend.
