A Poem I received in email:
Around the corner I have a friend, In this great city 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.
And
he rang mine but we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men. Tired
of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will
call on Jim Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But
tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us grows and grows.
Around
the corner, yet miles away, "Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today." And that's
what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner,
a vanished friend.
Remember
to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them.
Don't
be afraid to express yourself.
Reach
out and tell someone what they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is the right time
it might be too late.
Seize
the day.
Never
have regrets. And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family,
for they have helped
make you the person
that you are today.
