Joyful Memory of Friends

There are tears of some old memories But joyful ones abound Friends that shared my life awhile I wish were still around The sunshine slating on the field Chewing on blades of grass The unique sense of humor That caused hilarious laughs Bracelet strings a wish or prayer Tied in every knot Unanswered though those wishes Treasured friendships never forgot An old guitar, a favorite star Best friends no matter where they are Tucked in my heart forever, ever Memories that perish never As I remember, A whispered prayer Of light, I leave on heaven's stair My spoken prayers to God, the King Where joyful angels fly and sing Prayers for friends of yesterday I cherish still in memory Within my heart to stay

What a lovely tribute to friends and friendship ! Good friends always stay around though we do not always see them. But in times of need, they pop up from somewhere as stars from behind the clouds. Your heart is full of gratitude for them and you not only treasure all your old friends, but also blanket them in your prayers. Sweet poem BJ.

Oh BJ, you capture and reflect so many feelings, stirrings and memories I can so wonderfully relate too. "An old guitar, a favorite star / Best friends no matter where they are".. yes so true! This piece is filled with reverie and imagery that resonates within me. I adore this beautifully expressive gem, my friend. A fav! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
