FRIENDS
By Don L. Irwin
How long ago since first we met,
I do not know, I can not say.
But somewhere in that mystic realm of dreams,
Where oft’ we roam in pleasant fantasy
And long before, in life,
Your kindly hand clasped mine,
One lovely day, like old acquaintances,
We met beside a quiet stream,
Where skies were blue and
Fragrant flowers bloomed gay.
And now we walk the daily way of life, and
Whether we are near or far apart,
When someone seeks my good name to destroy,
Like fearless knight of old
You come to my defense.
When I am afraid, you soothe my fears;
When I hesitate, you give me confidence;
\\ hen I am weak, you lend me strength
When I am proud you counsel humbleness.
You are my friend. *
At last there comes the mellow evening
When old friends sit in qui-t talk and
Watch the rushing, surging play of life,
Until night shadows blot it from their sight.
The hours wear on; the friends still sit, and
Talk of past and present, hopes and joys.
They vision realms beyond the skies;
Far past the starry worlds they see, and
Hope to someday walk beside,
Their Lord, their friend, the Holy Man of Galilee.
Here's to 1956 ... and here's to you!
r . . \
^ May the New Year bring you
366 days full of good health, warm
i friendships, solid progress and
\ high happiness. May it become a
||^ year to be fondly remembered
i -" 'M
\ " for all that it meant to
you and yours.
