FOOTPRINTS

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the friend.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him and the other to the friend.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned his friend about it. Friend, you said that once you decided to be my friend, you d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.

The friend replied, ?My dear friend, I love you and I would never leave you. During your time of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.?

FRIENDS

Around the corner I have a friend

In this great city that has no end,

Yet 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 knows I like him just well,

As in the days when I rang his bell,

And he rang mine..

If, we were younger then,

And now we are busy , tired man..

Tired of playing a foolish game,

Tired of trying to make a name..

?Tomorrow? I say ?I will call on Jim?

?Just to show that I m thinking of him.?

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,

and distance between us grows and grows..

Around the corner! Jet miles away,

?Here s a telegram sir-?

?Jim died today.?

And that s what we get and deserve in the end..

Around the corner, a vanished friend..

If you love someone, tell them..

Remember always to say what you mean..

Never be afraid to express yourself..

Take the opportunity to tell someone

what they mean to you..

Size the day and have no regrets..

Most importantly, stay close to your

friends and family, for they have helped

make you the person that you are today

and are what it s all about anyway..

The house is not the same since you left

the cooker is angry - it blames me.

The TV tries desperately to stay busy

but occasionally I catch it staring out of the window.

The washing-up s feeling sorry for itself again

it just sits there saying

?What s the point, what s the point??.

The curtains count the days.

Nothing in the house will talk to me.

I think your armchair s dead.

The kettle tried to comfort me at first

but you know what its attention span is like.

I ve not told the plants yet

they think you re still on holiday.

The bathroom misses you.

I hardly see it these days.

I still can t believe you didn t take it with you.

The bedroom won t even look at me

since you left it keeps its eyes closed

all it wants to do is sleep, remembering better times

trying to lose itself in dreams

it seems like it s taken the easy way out

but at night I hear the pillows

weeping into the sheets.
