Sometimes friends wander from your life,
Not to be seen again;
Sometimes you know not what the strife
Caused them to leave you then.

You wonder how you did them wrong,
Or injured them in word;
And time relentless rolls along,
They are no longer heard.

Estrangement is an awful thing,
When friends had often met;
Friends turned to strangers sorrow bring -
But friends do not forget.
