So Many To My Life

So many to my life have come and have gone But who comes or goes life as usual goes on Until the Grim Reaper a visit to me pay On some future night or on some future day Some I thought were friends were not friends at all They just flattered to deceive as I can recall And some who were friends in my life did not stay We drifted apart and we went our own way Although they do live on in my memory So many old friends I will never more see Their bones rest in cemeteries from here far away In Nature's earthy bosom forever to lay So many to my life have come and have gone But for me as for everyone life does go on.
