Journey with an old friend


Glimpses of you caught over many years
And then across the street, a slow hand waived
Smiles across the streets collide
Set the day, new friendship stride

An Easter greet remembered, and then a fashion statement
An unambitious ask, how long before over coffee we talk
Sitting in a care center, a long day it had been
Good company I sought, my offer you took up keen.

Over cups of hot steam and brew
Exchanged innocent smiles, the comfort grew
The kept file, came out in the open
An unimagined moment there before you

Bundles of laughter settled our ways
Thru movies, dinners, coffees thereafter
Of crashes on roads, and bandaging long drives
Watching stars on terrace tanks high

Companionship of morning walks,
Tips of healthier, exercise talks
Loads of passion in you I seen,
What set out to achieve, unrested till brought in

Eager a person, lend out a helping hand
In all your days ahead, life surround you with many a friend
There be all times for you to laugh out loud
Success uniquely favor you amidst the crowd

Your bold claims, I sure know how to make an impression
All your madness and you, a smiling addiction
Comrade not alone in matters as these
Long days will go by, forgetting me wont be as ease

You’ll be remembered for your many surprises
The efforts taken to keep smiles going in all places
Of arms that held close and strong
When the day that had been, seemed all so wrong

Taught and have learnt, in this 2010
The months they have become memories
We sat down took a little time to pen
Perhaps read as the clock ticks, slowly reminiscence cease
So much to say of the many hours
Gripped by time and distance parts
For the road ahead, may blessings pour
Achieve your dreams, triumph define you,

A defined person, a mark you create
I pray ahead of time, humility be your friend
Your trust place in Him, He be with you every corner, every bend
Be the man He has called, called you to be.

Onward you go, fare-well I bid
