When A Friend Becomes A Memory

When A Friend Becomes A Memory

When a friend becomes a memory
It’s okay to shed some tears
As you ponder on their history
Looking back across the years.

You can’t take anything with you
When you’re finally laid to rest,
But many are your friends who
Will guard your treasure chest.

For each thought becomes a jewel,
And each picture becomes a gem.
Priceless memories that you’ll cherish
Every time you think of them.

The real value of a friendship
Is worth riches beyond measure.
When a friend becomes a memory,
Their memory becomes a treasure.
