Candles by © Richard J. Budig 1997 Let it be said that we were met I don’t remember where or when We talked of this and that We talked of hopes and dreams And soon enough we were friends Telling lives that simply were Not quite full and not quite empty I shed tears of joy for you Tears that too soon I will shed again And you, you laughed with glee As I laid out my life’s depravity And through it all We hugged and kissed Because we were friends And we loved each other Unaware, until now, that we are young Only in our hearts and minds And that when we were young We thought ourselves old And, sadly, only now do we realize That youth was once truly ours Let me hold your hand once again Be my cherished friend a moment more For soon enough the time that is ours Will pass away like candles upon the altar |
