Tae Friendship

Where are the days we used to know

          The memories of what has been

          When you and I were young and keen

And life was just an endless flow 

Of days and nights without a care,

          Slipping onward while we lived

          And loved, ignoring how life sieved

Our thoughts and feelings, unaware

That all the time an end was calling -

          Not that it would be today -

          But what we cherished on the way

Would all too soon be past recalling

Unless we hold to what is here,

          The friends who share our daily round

          Our moods, flippant or profound,

Our celebrations, times of care.

So on this night when we again

          Share haggis and a glass or two

          Let's pray we will continue true

In friendship, as we've always been.

To Friendship
