When looking at my lovely bouquet,
of friendship's faces.
Picked from so many,
wonderful and different places.


It suddenly came bursting,
with such delight.
How each one made up,
a most beautiful sight.

 

 


Though it has taken my life-time,
to add each one.
I know that still yet,
my task is not done.


For I shall continue to gather,
along life's pathway.
More radiant faces,
that I shall display.

 

 

But dear FRIEND!
This I want you to know.
It will be your flower,
the first that I show.


Thanks, for all the memories,
both of laughter and tears.
They will always be with me,
throughout the coming years.

Martha D. Manley
