Friendship , the beautiful part of life

I was thinking of old friends today
and how many of them have slipped away.

Moved, got married, or stopped calling so much,
Found new friends, got busy, and just lost touch.

It reminded me of falling leaves .
Every autumn the leaves fall from the trees.
Some stay longer than others, but eventually -

Each leaf must fall, thats nature,
leaving the tree alone to face the cold.

Why is it that in the time of utmost need
the leaves would seek to leave the tree?

And when we need our friends around
we look and they cannot be found?

Of course these friendships come and go
and in the spring new leaves will grow.

But I prefer autumn friends of old
with crackling laughter and colors bold.

And then there will be trusted set of friends of you.
those few stubborn leaves that won’t let go.

That clings despite the winds that blow.
Fighting ice, and snow, and winter’s stings
Hanging on right through till spring.

So I guess that’s what you guys are to me -
The few last leaves to leave the tree.

I know it seems silly, but it’s true.
