[Vision2020] A Poem

[J Ford]

This was sent to me by my friend in Florida...as a reminder.  I hope you all get what it is saying:

Around the corner I have a friend, 
In this great World that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, 
And before I know it, a year is gone. 
And I never see my old friend's face, 
For life is a swift and terrible race, 
He/She knows I like them just as well, 
As in the days when I rang their bell. 
And they rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired friends. 
Tired of playing a foolish game, 
Tired of trying to make a name. 
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Them
Just to show that I'm thinking of our friendship, way back when." 
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, 
And distance between us grows and grows. 
Around the corner, yet miles away, 
"Here's a telegram sir/madam," "Your friend died today." 
And that's what we get and deserve in the end. 
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
 
Remember to always say what you mean. 
If you love someone, tell them. 
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
 
Reach out and tell your family and friends what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time, it might be too late.
 
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
 
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today. 
You must send this on in 3 hours after reading the letter to 10 other people. 
If you do this, you will receive unbelievably good luck.

J  :]
