Dedicated to Richard, my Dearest friend
Among all the beautiful paintings
and framed photos on my wall
I have a heart warming picture
So different from them all
Wisdom and kindness surrounded
with Autumn's colourful scenery
Changing the fading flowers
and leaves into vivid greenery
The dancing sunbeams
add shimmer to this treasury
So simple and natural
but still an unsolved mystery
The past and present
Memories woven into today
Time stopped for an instant
to preserve and portray
A second of a life time
and it will not come again
But the captured moment
will everlastingly remain
Yes, surrounded by all the beauty
framed in wooden on my wall
I have my very special friend
The most precious of them all.
