    we are now using a backup solution

FORGOTTON FRIEND,

A

Astonian

gone but not forgotten
     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 as gone.
     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 old days I rang his bell .,
     And he rang mine ---  we were younger then
     But now  we are tired,busy men.
     Tired  of playing a foolish game, tired of trying to make a name .
     Tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes ,
     And the distance between us grows and grows
     Around the corner, yet miles away, then comes the news..........  JIM DIED TODAY;
     And that's what we get, and deserve  in the end   
     Around the corner -------  a vanished friend    ;;
 
Astonian, Those words sent a shiver down my spine. I'm going to ring all my friends now. Jill.
 
It's true, how many times have we all heard 'So and so' has died, leaving us thinking I wish I'd phoned..
 
Astonian, Another gem written by a true Brummie, who's roots will never leave Brum
 
How true that is Astonian, whereever we live. We have to work at keeping in touch and sometimes it seems like it is all one way and we give up.
That is one of the great things about this forum and the Internet in general, it gives us the opportunity to keep or get in touch with old friends more easily. O0.
