Friends

I have been thinking about friends I have lost touch with over the years when I am out on the road getting in my base miles. I guess the holidays bring these memories back. As I think about high school, college and other friends I have not heard from in years I realize that even though we are not in touch, they still have had an impact on my life.

A Prayer
By Frank D. Sherman

It is my joy in life to find
At every turning of the road
The strong arm of a comrade kind
To help me onward with my load.

And since I have no gold to give,
And love alone must make amends,
My only prayer is while I live-
God make me worthy of my friends.

I hope that I am worthy of those who have been there for me over the years. Even though I may not speak to all of my past and present friends as often as I should, I still think of them often and smile at the memories. I know that when we get together again no matter how long it has been, it will seem as if time had not passed and we will begin again where we left off.
