Different Paths

Although our paths may never cross again

This side of heaven I'll remember when

You graced my life with friendship's harmony;

You'll always be a lovely memory.

Although the roads we travel separate

No longer one, no one can confiscate

The joy we've shared forever to remain

Within the heart to sing its sweet refrain.

Although we'll journey highways far apart

Each thought of you shall tenderly impart

The loveliest bouquet of roses fair

Rare fragrant dew-kissed blooms beyond compare.

Although the streets we tread lead different ways

Might never meet again for all our days

In passing think of me from time to time

Recalling fondly friendship's lilting rhyme.
