Dear Friends And Good People

Dear friends and good people we may never more see But they remain with us in our memory In our thoughts they remain young as the friends we did know The friends we grew up with many decades ago. Dear friends of our young years from us far away Some with the departed forever now lay In deceased people's ground in Nature's earth and clay They live in our minds we recall them today. The clock on our lives it is ticking on fast As we try to cling on to our friends of the past To the father of time as we age we do bow But we only can live in the here and the now. Dear friends of the past you we often recall In our thoughts you are young you have not aged at all In our thoughts you've not aged since we left our beloved Homeland shore Though on the streets of the Hometown we may meet never more.
