In loving memory of Jean Merrick

Friends

Old friends are dear,

and still the best.

They Last much longer

than the rest!

They knew you in the yestyerday

of long ago and far away.

When all the dreams

were bright and clear,

and nought in all the world's to fear.

The dance of life had scarce begun,

the sweetest songs yet to be sung.

Life and love

bewitched and beckonded.

Ah yes: we were so very young!

I hear the echos

and I sigh;

They were so young:

and so was I!

April 1970

I had the pleasure of knowing Jean Merrick
She wrote me a Book of poems to treasure
I promised her that one day I would get one of her poems published
I truly hope this honours my promise.
Special thanks to her son
Don Merrick for introducing this Wonderful Lady to me
