My Poem of the day: "Around the Corner"

Hello Everyone!

"Around the Corner" is a poem about living the moment and sharing your life experiences through the people you love dearly. Many of us as we grow older and go on with our life's we tend to forget that very special friend who once made us happy, or laughable, or cheerful, or that someone who would make our days less boring and sad. This poem is about not forgetting that special someone. Even if we don't see them again or if your too far apart, its also a good idea to go back and visit them once again, or call them. It will let that other special someone know that you still care for them dearly, and that although times have changed soo much through the years we have been growing up, its nice to know that our friendship is still the same no matter the circumtances. Distances don't matter, what matters is the feelings i feel for you.

"Around the Corner"

Around the corner i have a friend,

In this great city that has no end;

Yet days go by, and weeks rush on,

And before i know it a year is gone,

And i never see my old friend's 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. We were younger then,

And now we are busy, tired men:

Tired with playing a foolish game;

"Tommorow," i say, "I will call on Jim,

Just to show that i'm thinking of him."

But tommorow comes- and tommorow goes,

And the 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.
