Friends We Lost

in #life7 years ago (edited)


Born we were together, 

we walked together

we played together. 

Together we learned

the brighter sides of life,

the sadness on earth.


Together we learned 

how to ride

how to dance.

The junction held us;

different paths we took

to reach our destinies


In the slums some remain.

Married some are

with kids they love.

In the city some are;

some drawn by greed;

driven by need,  others are.


Pulled by habits.

Drawn by responsibilities;

driven by sadness.

Through the suffering

and through the pain,

Some remain on our side.


Those we lost for eternity

in the hands of death

We mourn with hearts heavy

Friends come and go

Some we hold onto

Others we let go.

Dedicated to the friends we've lost along the way; and to those we still have, I hope for the best in our lives.

It is really difficult to find a good friend, but only one word is enough to lose them...
