Old Friend Poem by Ronald Chapman

These are times when we are down.
These are times when our
Friend's star begins to flicker out.
In these sad times we look to our new
Friends in life to comfort us.


The new friends can only help guide us through
These sad times. They can not replace
The flickering stars in the sky.


Tonight. Look up at the sky and say hello!
To your old friend's flickering star.
This will make you miss your old friend
Just a little bit less.
And remind you of the good times you had
In the past
With your old friend.
