To a Friend!

Each to their own!


I know I’m not for everyone

Nor they, indeed, for me

I see my faults

Address them

But they’re still a part of me.

 
If I have had you in my life

Through good times and the bad

I never meant to cause you harm

Or tried to make you sad!

 
Though my intentions were never saintly

I tried to do my best

I gave opinions, as I saw

Stuck by them rather bravely!



If you ever saw the worst in me

Moved on an then we parted

I’d like to say I thank you for

The joy with which we started.


All things end eventually

In friendship and in life

I’ve been the best that I could be

A Mum, a friend, a gran – a wife!



So, hold on to your memories

and Jumpers - of the past.

Consider the landscape of your life, 

The ups and downs don't last



Relish every minute 

Because time

It moves...

So fast!
