Joy in the Mourning
Poetry Room: General

I'll Never Forget You, My Friend

Some people walk into your life
    and leave footprints
         that linger forever.
They show up in photo albums
    in memories that flash back
       into your thoughts
    when they're least expected,
  and in remnants of past experiences
   that merge into your present life
      and influence patterns of behavior
        on future days...

My friend, you are one
    of those unforgettable people.

I still come across the footprints
    that you left in my life,
       and every time I do
          I'm grateful that
             I had the chance to know you.
