Around The Corner: By Henson Towne

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.


If, we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tommorow" I say "I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!- yet 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.


If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say
what you mean. Never be afraid to express yourself. Take
this opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you.
Seize the day and have no regrets.


Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for
they have helped make you the person that you are today
and are what it's all about anyway. Pass this along to your
friends. Let it make a difference in your day and theirs. The
difference between expressing love and having regrets
which may stay around forever.
