MY FRIEND & I

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 friend's 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.

If, 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.

If you love someone, tell them.

Remember always to say what you mean.

Never be afraid to express yourself.

Take this opportunity to tell someone

what they mean to you.

Seize the day and have no regrets

Most importantly, stay close to your

friends and family, for they have helped

make you the person that you are today

and are what it's all about, anyway.

Pass this message along to your friends.

Let it make a difference in your day and theirs.

The difference between expressing love and having regrets is that the regrets may stay around forever.

Tell someone close to you how much they mean to you and you will have a miraculous occurrence in your relationships. You will find new love or have an old love rekindled.

If you do not do it, you will have once again passed up the opportunity to do something loving and beautiful and continue the trend that gives you problems in your relationships "Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do"
