![]() To My FriendsA Poem by Valeigh Starr![]() honoring the friends who came into my life for just a little while (happens to be in common meter, if you'd prefer to sing it)![]() To all the friends I’ve known before My some-time confidantes: We may not speak for years on end But know, I’ve not forgot Before my new friends came about You stood there by my side We talked, we laughed, we played, we danced We whispered, worried, cried We spoke of future hopes and dreams Of which have come to pass A few, perhaps, yet now we find Most wishes could not last Nor could our friendship, so it seems For many nights have gone Without your calls or playdates, friend; I’ve often felt alone But other times my new friends come And I’m so glad they’re here Still when they’ve gone, my thoughts return: I wish that you were near! Your name may some day slip my mind With all this time away Your face may blend in with a crowd But still I have to say The character you were to me Is carved into my heart The person you helped make of me Is quite a work of art © 2013 Valeigh StarrReviews
