A Lost Friend Poem by Randy McClave

I might have lost you as a friend
But, that doesn't mean that I gained you as an enemy,
Birthday cards to you I will still send
And I hope that we both end up happy.
A happy life I want you to hold onto and own
I wish you never any hurt or pain,
I hope that from joy and happiness you are known
And I hope that all your dreams you will gain.
I will never ever insult you or your name
And I will never lie or talk bad about you,
My problems will never be yours to blame
I sincerely hope that you feel the same way as I do.
I will never ever wish you any bad luck
And I hope that you find all of your dreams,
And I hope in traffic your never rear-ended or stuck
I hope that your life is more than just schemes.
I hope your life is long and caring
And I promise you this I will always wish you well,
I hope that you're never despairing
And I will never ever wish for you to go to hell.
You are not my enemy or my foe again that I will repeat
I want you to always to be strong and able,
And of course I still want to see you eat
But, not ever at my table.
