Friends Prayer

Alas, I have grown old
Where are all my friends?
They were here a moment ago
Glowing with life and love
Striving and achieving
Sometimes failing, sometimes falling
But standing up again with purpose
And love prevailed
again and again
I miss them so
They are where I live
and I don’t know if I’ll ever
find my way back home

Please …
Show me the way
And let me lay down easy
Let me see them once again
Eyes to sparkling eyes
Riff to sparkling riff
Either here or there
I loved all my friends
Still do.
