Memories keep me alive
Memories of happiness
And then those
I just survived.
They aren’t all bad
Nor filled with just
Goodness and delight.
They are of my life
The one that unfolds
Here in the mist
Of memories I behold.
Memories
Some untold.

My friend John
Is never gone
Along with Carol
When I needed a friend
There was my friend John.
Showed the world
What men are made of
A true friend
My friend John.
All those memories
Are long gone
But not my friend
My friend John.
The body may wear
Give up and despair
But not the soul, the heart
Of a great, brave man
My friend John.
No remorse, no regrets
In this life he lives
Giving all for those
Surrounding, loving
My friend John.
Knowing you has been
A blessing
A treasure to behold
Thank you
My friend John.

Fresh New Year
Fresh new time.
Make it dear
And a happy time
To last throughout the year
Sweet memories
For a later time.
Remember this
This pleasant time
Start a New Year
Make it fresh
A fresh new time.
