[Vision2020] Vanished Friends

[Tom Hansen]

Greetings Visionaires -

This is a short "feel good" message.

I have been subscribed to "Joke of the Day" for some time now.  Every other
day or so they attach "Words of Wisdom" which are very insightful.  Today's
Words of Wisdom was dedicated to the final episode of "Friends".  It
concerns letting your friends know how you feel about them while they are
still here.

-----------------------------------------

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city 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 knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.

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, yet miles away,
"There's a message sir," "Jim died today."

And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

--------------------------------------------

Just thought that you might enjoy it.

Take care,

Tom Hansen

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail.  But a true friend will be
sitting next to you saying, "Damn . . . that was fun!"

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!"
