Friends
Goodbye to friends and soulmates too,
We've reached that final hour.
It's time to take our chosen paths,
And for new friendships to flower.
Emotions running high as we say farewell,
Though we'll meet again very soon.
As we gather in the foyer,
The very next Monday afternoon.
For some it was even sooner,
The very first place we went.
To our "home from home" the Rocket,
And got completely spent.
New friendships have been formed,
But old ones stay strong and true.
In times of need and worry,
Those friends are right on cue.
As we take our walk through life,
Remember why friends are there.
Tell them what they mean to you,
Show them that you care.
