Located between Village Hall and Lindenhurst Library Fully Provisioned for the Handicapped Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end, Yet the days go by and the weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone And I never see my old friend’s 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. If, we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men. Tired o f playing a foolish game, Tired o f trying to make a name. ‘Tomorrow” I say “I will call Jim” “Just to show that I ’m thinking o f him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And Distance between us grows and grows. Around the comer - 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.
