Friends for keep

You stood with me in murky waters
When all left was drowning
Life gave affliction for laughter
We were lost but beat the weary
We saw lessons in midst of worry
Sooner we'd see hope dawning
Thank you for standing by me.
Remember chasing desperate ladies
Talk the talk of salvation and hades
The meal shared was sweetest
Pockets dried never a weakness
We braved the sands of mwitisyano
We sang the Ukambani sun a sank song
Thank you for the relentless support.
Friends for eternity
My pen leaks for you
For ways that have parted
For moments lost in the past
If only a harp of a guitar string
Revives the etched memories
I'd play riffs till Amnesia
I'd be the Metallica of nostalgia
Thank you and thank God for you.
