For all my friends... I can't live without you...
This was sent to me by my friend, Sandra. When I was in 6th grade & moved to a new town, I was seated next to her - sort of buddied up with her. We've been friends ever since. She sent me this the other day. It made me cry. Here...have some tissues.... Love, Bethie
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right timeit might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helpedmake you the person that you are today.
