MANY YEARS __________ For may years you've been my friend, and steered me toward right. When I have entered darkness you have shown me the light. And now at last the time has come when you must leave my side. Like body gives up soul and spirit reluctantly do I. We haven't always had good times and our quarrels have been great. To prepare me for the outside world when I'm alone with fate. So I go out, but take with me, the things which you have taught. Kindness, hopefullness, generousity and companionship you brought. Tomorrow is another day, and I have known so few, But all my friends in years to come will never equal you. by Dae Neumann
