In One's Lifetime
Janice Bumbalough Marler
In one’s lifetime,
If we are fortunate,
We meet that special friend,
The one who means to us the most,
But for reasons, known only to God,
Time and circumstance
separate them;
Their friendship is lost
But never forgotten
How could we forget the laughter,
The tears, the elations, the prayers,
The secrets we shared?
Not even time can erase
Those precious memories
But per chance,
We meet again,
And the toils that life have
Heaped upon us
Has not changed who we are.
Deep down inside
We will meet once again
If not on earth,
Then in heaven,
Where friendships
Always abide.
