The days of innocence are gone But live deep in our core Where friendships bound by simple truth Abide forever more For those who shared a childhood dream And afternoons of fun No matter what their lot, we cherish Each and every one No matter where they settled in To start a life anew We still esteem the friendships Which remain sincere and true For distance can’t destroy the past Nor time erase the bonds Nor pleasure nor misfortune fade The memories clear and strong There is no other friendship Quite the same as those we knew Whose shadow was the silhouette Beside us as we grew And were our hearts to meets again The time would melt away And distant summers would return Like thoughts of yesterday The memories lovingly remain So deep within our hold And so we celebrate the new But still embrace the old Elizabeth Santos |

Beautiful from the first line to the last and your cadence is "as always" kissed with perfection. Very much enjoyed and I will now leave with some wonderful memories of my own thanks to you. |

"There is no other friendship Quite the same as those we knew Whose shadow was the silhouette Beside us as we grew" Oh! This filled me with wonderful memories of my own. And I see that it did that for other readers, too. Great write! Janette always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |

love the cadence and the rhyme of this one...reads well out loud (and I love to read poetry out loud) but most of all I like the words...this stanza expresses good friendships so well: "And were our hearts to meets again The time would melt away And distant summers would return Like thoughts of yesterday" |

Nothing can ever break that bond Thank you for sharing. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone. |

Well you sure have that right, I don't think I will ever get over loosing my childhood friend, BUT...I found you  and that was a bonus. Nice to see you write dear Lizzie. If you see my muse hiding in any of your trees, you give her heck and send her home okay?  |

We moved around a lot when I was little so I didn't get to make many of these kind of friendships but I remember a couple of childhood friends fondly and wish there would have been more. I enjoyed this very much. Ida |
