The world is full of conflict, war, chaos, sadness, and woe Ghettos, slums, homeless bums, children with no place to go Yet in the darkness of the chaos in our measured lives Lies a part of us that so earnestly strives To find people among humans a limited few Who are honest, loyal, and all around true blue We call these people friends and we all travel on a ship Made of caring and love and hands to catch us when we slip We and our friends share a common bond Similarities of personalities that over the years we become fond But alas for we are merely mortal, some friends we see no more They are suddenly escorted to the waiting distant shore And though we shed a sea of tears and though it makes us cry We move on, cherish the memories and realize that friends die But now on another note, there are other ways to lose a friend Hating to drag the sorrow further soon my point will end We don't always go through life with the same frame of mind Disputes, arguments,and differences we soon will find And soon that common bond you had you no longer want to share That special meeting ground you once had you no longer go there More painfull than losing friends to death by health or edge of knife Is to lose friends because of human differences: to lose friends to life |
