I love this poem because just a few months ago I joined myspace. com hoping that my childhood friends would find me and it worked. I would have never found them because they mostly all of them live in different states now. After they found me I was looking for something really nice to put on my blog and this poem was just perfect. Growing up I moved around alot but these specific friends are the ones that I wished I had never lost touched with and this poem really explains how I feel about all of them. It eally hit close to home. Thank you Robson Grant! Great job!:)

Friend

I know you're still out there
Living life with your kind of flair
Standing with your face to the sun
Picturing your time to come

Many clouds have passed by
Since we stood under the same sky
Taking in the summer sights
Howling at the city lights

I still remember when we were young
Pulling pranks just for fun
Summer vacations were such a blast
The kind of memories that will always last

Growing up the future seemed like such a sure thing
Thought we knew what it would bring
True love, a family, a house in the hills
Work hard, play hard and don't sweat the bills

Never guessed things would change so much
Thought our friends would never loose touch
The stars seemed so clear from our domain
I sure could handle some of those good times again

Even if our dreams still seem far away
Our friendship will be right here to stay
Until we are both gone
The road between us will never be too long

I loved this poem. it helped me get over the fact the my BEST friend Jasmine was moving to Califorina. I miss her so much. But his did help me realize that even though she wasn't in my state, she was STILL my best friend.

I was searching for a poem to send to a new friend but the instant I started reading I had to mail it off to a friend that I don't see that often any more. It is perfect, and Robson is correct in saying "the road between us is never too long. "

I grew up with my cousins and lived with them for a while as a child and teenager. This poem sparked some very vivid memories. There were seven of us all together and what one could not think of the other could. We had some great times. So there was always trouble. Very good! Kathy
