My Old Friends

By Jason Marion

 

”Sometimes you have to work twice as hard

 for a second chance.”

 

Lord

Thank you for

those people I have chased away

by fault

who still cared what happened to me.

Eager to see where I have been

if I would only call

let them know

that between my eyes I may heal my soul.

Be Stable

and be able to gain enough

for them and their future wives

to come and visit their old friend.

See their children’s eye’s.

I don’t want to die anymore.

I want to see them again.

My old friends.
