Reminiscence

/* 
 May 22, 1993 
*/ 
For a greater friend, I could not ask, 
But now I must turn and go, 
Never forget the memories, 
Still keep the candle’s glow. 
A part of you I take with me, 
In mind and heart and soul, 
Old friend who made a part of me, 
It’s you who made me whole. 
And promise me in days to come, 
When grandchil’ stay the night, 
In their faces remember me, 
And pick up pen and write. 
And promise me still at the end, 
When all is learnt and left, 
Please place a rose where I then lie, 
To show old memories kept.
