For Friendship

The friends I meet along the way,
may walk with me today, all day,
and leave tomorrow with the sun,
a closeness all too soon undone.

The friends I meet along the way,
may walk with me for many days,
may friendship grow and blossom more,
as strong as waves upon the shore.

The time to me doesn’t matter much,
I keep you close beside my heart.
The time that counts is now at hand,
to enjoy our ways before they part.

And may they never part.
