About the Poem

Life's many visitors touch us in numerous ways, but it's the impressions left by true friends that are most remembered and seldom ever matched.

Impressions

A lifetime can be likened to a lonely beach of sand.
a stranger makes a mark one day, an imprint of a hand.
As time goes by the beach once clear is now a cluttered field
of memories and keep-sakes of the ones that we hold dear.
Time does its best to wash away remembrances of those -
the ones we never meant to meet - the ones we never chose.
But as through some odd twist of fate these are the ones we cherish.
The time we spend with these such friends, will never, ever perish.

The reason why I enjoyed this poem is because I met a very nice lady on a trip this past year to now find out she is ill so I wanted to pass along words that I can say that spoke from my heart as almost a complete stranger yet letting her know that I am so glad that we met and the words were lasting and always know our frienship will never wash away
