And somehow
In my sadder times
I let go
Of friends close to me
friendships like poetry
But I still think of them
And reflect in reminiscence
On happiness shared
sadness disclosed
And as friends do, they enriched my life
Taught me a thing or two
So precious
And will always be
Those friendships like poetry
I wish them well
Wherever they might be
As they say, though not seen,
Still they are, hidden somewhere, like stars
