Your friend is dead Last year sh
went"
But many years my friend had spen
In life's wide wastes. apart from me.
And lately ! had felt her naar,
And walked as if by soft wind:
famed,
Had felt the touching OF her hand
Had known she held me close and dear
And swift / learned that being dad
Meant rather bslng free TO live.
And free TO seek me, free to give,
And so my heart was comforted.
