Faith Offerman - Friends

There are those who pass
Like ships in the night
Who meet for a moment
Then sail out of sight
With never a backward
Glance of regret
Folks we know briefly
Then quickly forget
Then there are friends
Who sail together
Through quiet waters
And stormy weather
Helping each other through
Joy and through strife
And they are the kind
Who give meaning to life
