READ THIS
Today is a good day for this, as we all grow a little older and lose special friends, I believe we need to take that extra step and keep up with all of our friends. This poem seems to say it all. Please take the time to read and try to make contact with someone you have not heard from or seen in a long time. Thank you
Subject: Read alone......especially the poem
David proposed! She accepted, but then had to leave because
she had a meeting in 20 min. When she got to her office, she
noticed on her computer she had some e-mail's. She checked it,
the usual stuff from her friends, but then she saw one that she had
never gotten before. It was this poem. She simply deleted it without
even reading all of it. BIG MISTAKE! Later that evening, she
received a phone call from the police. It was about DAVID! He had been
in an accident with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive.
CASE 2: Take Katie Robinson She received this poem and being the
believer that she was! , she sent it to a few of her friends but
didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out the full 10 that you
must. Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball. Later
that night when she left to get to her car to go home, she was
killed on the spot by a hit-and-run drunk driver.
CASE 3: Richard S. Willis sent this poem out within 45 minutes
of reading it. Not even 4 hours later walking along the street
to his new job interview with a really big company, when he ran
into Cynthia Bell, his secret love for 5 years. Cynthia came up
to him and told him of her passionate crush on him that she had
had on him for 2 years. Three days later, he proposed to her and
they got married. Cynthia and Richard are still married with three
children, happy ! as ever!
This is the poem:
Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might
too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most importantly,
stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make
you the person that you are today.
You must send this on in 3 hours after reading the letter
to 10 different people.
