They're telling us it's over now: It's time for us to parties time to break our ties with each other; It's time for our new lives to start. They're telling us to look to the future; To stop dwelling on things of the past. But, we know, deep in our hearts, One thing is destined to last ...

Friendship: Lasts much longer than a day And, though years may quickly pass Our friendship is here to stay. Now, it's time for us to leave; But, one day we'll return-And when it's time for memories. We'll all recall one word- Friendship: The common bond we all once shared-It eased the pain of growing up, And made life much easier to bear ... Friendship ... Linda Moufang 7
