I close my eyes and wonder
"Where are the Friends I knew?"
The Friends I made along the way
that numbered quite a few
The neighbor kids and classmates
back in my "grow-up" years
The fun we had with laughter
And sharing those "learning" tears
The Family friends I gathered
with my spouse and children too
The Friends we cared and shared with
Living life as our families grew
I open up my weary eyes
and search for the Friends I love
Seems fate has knocked on many doors
and most are "Home" above
I’m thankful for the memories
for not many Friends will call
But in my heart they linger
And I remember "One and all"
Mr. Doug
