Years From Now
Years from now
We will hear our laughter,
Reminiscing the great times we had;
Those stories at breakfast..
And we’ll never forget
Tears on shoulders,
When times were sad.
Years from now
We will take a picture,
And compare it to one from these days.
We are all changing slowly
But seemingly fast,
Grow together in so many ways.
Years from now
We will bring up stories
And reflect on how sweet our times were.
Now jumping into new water
That at times, seems too deep..
Knowing we have each other for sure.
Years from now
We will still listen
To that heartfelt advice we’d ignore.
Regretting decisions,
But letting things go..
Knowing so much more now, than before.
Years from now
There will still be memories,
As we open our scrapbooks and cry.
We will take time to fathom
Those sweet, carefree years..
Cannot grasp just how fast time goes by.
Years from now
We will live in different worlds,
Some of us will be far apart.
My friends have made lasting impressions
Which remain with me, deep in my heart.
Years from now
We will evaluate dreams,
As we step over stones from the past.
Hearing comforting voices
From across the country
Strengthens close bonds that will always last.
Years from now
We will peek into our souls,
Seeing realms we’ve acquired through strife.
No matter what road we wander
Or lose ourselves in,
We will cherish each other for life.
-A poem I wrote for my friends a few years ago.
