Vanished Friend

Around the corner i have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by & 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 & terrible race,
He knows i like him just as well,
As in the days i rang his bell,
And he rang mani but we were younger then,
And now we are busy tired men,
Tired of playing foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name,
Tomorrow i say i will call on him,
Just to show that i am thinking of him,
But tomorrow cames & tomorrow goes,
And the distance betwen us grows & grows,
Around the corner yet miles away,
Here is a telegram he died today,
And this is what we gat and dererve in the end,
Around the corner a VANISHED FRIEND..........
