For all my wonderful friends

Friends Who Sail Together

There are friends who pass
Like ships in the night
Who meet for a moment
then sail out of sight
With never a backward
Glance of regret
Friends we know briefly
Then quickly forget
There are other friends
Who sail together
Through quiet waters
And stormy weather
Helping each other
Through joy and through strife
And they are the kind
Who give meaning to life.
