Every night before you go to bed, think of one person who has
made your life richer just by knowing them. Do they know how they
have affected your life? Please take a moment to read the poem
below. I wish I knew who wrote it because he could use a big
hug.
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 friends
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, but 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.
Remember to
always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell
them. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell
someone what they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is
the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never
have regrets. And most importantly, stay close to your
friends and family, for they have helped make you the person
that you are today.
