For Jan

Join me on the park bench
The way you used to do
We'll catch up on our news
And tell a joke or two



I remember conversations
Talking for hours on end
I knew that you were someone
Who would always be a friend



Somewhere along the way
Years ago to be precise
Our lives took different directions
And friendship paid the price



Our children are all grown now
And making lives anew
Friends don't come along each day
Especially ones like you



We need to change priorities
I think you will agree
Take time out of your busy life
Come set a spell with me
