Friends Friend of my childhood, Of life's early days When together we wandered Through bright sunny ways Each true to the other, Till full manhood came, And found the old friendship As ever the same. Came summer and winter, Years waxed and waned. Youth it had left us But friendship remained And now as with white locks I bend o'er life's page, The friend of my childhood Is the friend of my age. by Lewis Latimer Bid. Contribute. Be Counted.
