Friends are the precious seashells of life
tossed by the sea upon our shores.
We never know when we will stumble across
some treasure, to be enjoyed and appreciated.
We know that as they came into our lives
so easily they can leave,
carried far by the tide and flow
taken by the wave of life.
Friends journey to far off places
we watch sadly as they drift away,
the lonely sound of our goodbyes,
whistle back gently by the breeze.
We can only hope their voyage is safe,
they reach friendly harbors.
One day, with luck and love,
they may return to us.
