It’s okay, my friend from long ago,
Not to be as close as we were then.
Our different paths have taken us
To where we are today.
It’s okay, my friend from long ago,
To disagree more than we did before.
Life’s experiences give us the views
That we believe today.
It’s okay, my friend from long ago,
To walk together as we did then.
Our different thoughts won’t separate
The friends we’ve always been.
It’s okay, my friend from long ago,
To stop and visit now and then.
This place, this stone that marks my rest,
For friends will always remember when.
