In the closing seconds I would like to remind you that any similarities of people in this broadcast that are living or otherwise is really not coincidental. friendship Diary My friends are like an endless book That goes from page to page; And one that always seems to grow More beautiful with age. Each sentence is a memory Each word brings back the name; Of one who helped me toward my goal In life’s important game. There is a song in every phrase And every paragraph; That holds a sigh, a lonely tear A smile or hearty laugh. Throughout the contents there is love And kindness of the heart; Though now and then a chapter ends With friends who have to part. But they are friends, no matter what They ever ask or give; And they are in the diary Of how JI strive to live. By Robert Rawlinson. 101
