Friends May Come; Friend May Go    

Friendships grow strained

    And torn

Others leave

    Others simply fall.


Healing and growing

    Strong and stronger

For where there was friendship

    There is heart of love

Never to empty

    But to continue.


Friends may come, friends may go

    Never leave of hearts

Life begins; Life continues

Friends may come, friends may go.


Friendship, demand not

    or push or pull or prod

Let go and let be.


For when it is time,

    Friends return

If not in time, be still…

   Still in heart


Life is hard

    We live and learn

      and grieve and grow.

We strive.  We hurt.

    We cry and try

Yet never complete.


Not all the same be

    Or the same need

We come and go

    As lives tug and pull.


Live and let be

    Until you receive

Whence it comes.


When and as...

    Friends may come;

      friends may go…

Yet, Love never leaves.
