An old friend gave me a copy of this poem entitled, "Old
Friends." Surely it will also make you think of someone dear to
you. "There are no friends like old friends, and none so good and
true; We greet them when we meet them, as roses meet the dew;
No other friends are dearer, Though born of kindred mold; And
while we prize the new ones, We treasure more the old. There are
no friends like old friends; Where'er we dwell or roam, In lands
beyond the ocean, Or near the bounds of home, And when they
smile to gladden, Or sometimes frown to guide, We fondly wish
those old friends, Were always by our side. There are no friends
like old friends To help us with the load, That all must bear who
journey, O'er life's uneven road; And when unconquered sorrows,
The weary hours invest, The kindly words of old friends, Are
always found the best. There are no friends like old friends, to calm
our frequent fears When shadows fall and deepen, Through life's
declining years; And when our faltering footsteps Approach the
Great Divide, We'll long to meet the old friends, Who wait at the
other side.
