For a lifetime or a season

by Keithnwv

Walking down the road of life
People cross paths for a reason
Some will remain as life long friends
Others stay but for a season

Looking back to friends I've had
They all have changed my life
From guys I built fast race cars with
To the gal I call my wife

There's some I wish had never gone
Though at lifes cross roads we did part
I wipe away my joy filled tears
As I hold them in my heart

To the ones who've stayed my whole life long
You've seen my worst, you've seen my best
I'll cherish the memories I have of you
Until the day I'm laid to rest
