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 friend's 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.
 
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow 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.

    "Many people will walk in and out of your life,
     but only true friends will leave footprints in
     your heart."
 
     To handle yourself, use your head;
     To handle others, use your heart.
 
     Anger is only one letter short of danger.
 
     If someone betrays you once, it's his fault;
     If he betrays you twice, it's your fault.
 
     Great minds discuss ideas;
     Average minds discuss events;
     Small minds discuss people.
 
     God gives every bird its food,
     But he does not throw it into its nest.
 
     He who loses money, loses much;
     He who loses a friend, loses more;
     He who loses faith, loses all.
 
     Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
     But beautiful old people are works of art.
 
     Learn from the mistakes of others.
     You can't live long enough to make them all
     yourself.
 
     The tongue weighs practically nothing,
     But so few people can hold it.
 
     Friends, you and me....
     you brought another friend...
     and then there were 3...
     we started our group...
     Our circle of friends...
     and like that circle...
     there is no beginning
     or end..
     Thank you for stepping into my life..........
     For your footprint has left
     a lasting impression....
