Life is like a tree With paths we take like branches tall, And those we don't The roots below that stop our fall. We do not, cannot, Always go the way we wish And branches often wither and die, We see our friends, divided, miss The junction broad, and wave goodbye. The leaves of life are memories, Some broad, some bold, Some withered and soon forgot. But one day, perhaps when life is done, The scenes come flashing back To relive the happy moments, and the sad, Of friends we now miss a lot. Different branches of one tree Will grow faster than the other, And others, lovely though they be, Are severed from trunk, the mother Of us all who yearns and aches To hold us close and tight, As one snowball is a thousand flakes, And a smile a brilliant light. The leaves of life are people, Some true, some cold, Some once met and soon forgot. But one day, perhaps when Autumn comes, We'll see the folk we knew And relive the happy moments, and the sad, With friends we now miss a lot. RELATIVES AND FRIENDS |
