Changing Times

[Emmaline]

How glad I am that we had met
I truly gained two friends
And as a guest your table set
For me.

And happy was the time I spent
Within your home, my friends,
Then to the place that I was sent
To be.

And still I knew that welcome smile
That told me you're my friends,
So loyal, yes I'll stop a while
For tea.

And many are the chats we had
And laughter too, my friends,
It makes my heart so very glad
You see.

Yes, time may change so many things
But you'll still be my friends,
But listen for that phone to ring,
Maybe!

If only I could fight right on
Beside you two, my friends,
But all the joy of life is gone,
Sadly.

So keep a place within your hearts
Remember me , my friends,
No matter that so far apart
We'd be.

And days ahead may be so cruel
So keep in mind, my friends,
That you may hear I've been a fool!
That's me!

But tears for me you must not shed,
I've cut the bonds, my friends,
And soon enough I shall be dead!
Folly!
