Friends Forever

When looking at my lovely bouquet of friendship's faces.
Picked from so many wonderful and different places.
It suddenly came bursting with such delight.
How each one made up a most beautiful sight.
Though it has taken my life-time to add each one.
I know that still yet my task is not done.
For I shall continue to gather along life's pathway.
More radiant faces that I shall display.

But dear FRIEND!
This I want you to know.
It will be your flower,
the first that I show.

Thanks, for all the memories,
both of laughter and tears.
They will always be with me,
throughout the coming years.
