Message to My Late Friend

Around the corner I had a friend,
In this great place that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.

"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Him
Just to show that I'm thinking of him.
"But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And I have no clue How to reach him though.

Around the corner, yet miles away,
"He Passed Away," "Leaving behind just Memories"
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
