My Friend
To you the one who touched my Heart
Two Worlds collided that fateful day
Separate people headed the same way
So, as one, we walked along
Searching, hoping to belong
Taking time to learn to talk
Sharing silence as we walk
Hearing secrets, seeing tears
All so fast, it seems like years
On we walk the Road divides
Separate paths, not as wide
Here we part, A Sad Adieu
And hope to meet on Pathways New.
(1981)
Written for a college classmate who decided to follow a new path and not return to school after Christmas break.
