A Forever Friend Poem by Melissa Casteen

Even all these years gone by
in sleep I still have dreams of you
I sometimes smile and often cry
I miss the things we used to do

My heart of hearts, a friend indeed
when you were sad I felt your pain
and you were there when I had need
to coax my frown to smile again

We shared a bond, I treasured it
and even though we lived apart
both in time and miles, we did not let
our kinship die within our hearts

I miss you Friend, I hope you know
until the sands stop marking time
when God Himself has stopped the flow
your soul is forever linked to mine

Until the deserts freeze with snow
and mountains crumble to the ground
Until all rivers cease to flow
and stars once bright cannot be found
Until the oceans and seas are dry
and no birds soar along the wind
Until the blue bleeds from the sky
You're in my heart, a forever friend
