Transient friends pass through our life.
Like notes upon the wind, from a fife.
Brightening our spirit like the dawn.
Here for awhile, then they are gone.
Time passes and again they return.
Into our hearts warmth they churn.
Greeting us with their gorgeous smile.
Making us feel we can walk another mile.
Bringing with them memories of yesterday.
Good times in our minds they help display.
Visiting together like time has stood still.
Sensations of happiness once more refill.
Staying for a time, together we sing a song.
Leaving, again I wonder, this time how long?
Anticipation floods through an open gate.
Until we sing once more, I can hardly wait.
