Finding a long lost friend

People appear to disappear

you let them go from sight,

too many things get in the way

before too long they say goodbye

just slip away slip away.

You wonder where they are

how their lives unfolded,

hope their well though your a little jaded

all so long ago so long ago.

Man landed on the Moon in '69

we watched as it happend,

then not so many months had passed away

all things returned to their lives again

as did we in London

they to Cape Charles in the US of A

the end of their stay.

Letters exchanged then we moved

they also said they would be moving soon.

Arlington that was the place they went

at least that was from where the letter was sent.

Now who knows where

or if and when

though Martha we would like

to meet you again.

Maybe in time we shall who knows

life is funny like that

things come and go.

Till then if you know her

point her this way

Martha Belote

that was her name.
