There once was a place that I used to go

where you rented a boat to sail or row

My friends would cast off and we'd spend the day

in awe of nature's beauty all along the bay.

We would talk, sharing our goals, journeys and strife;

it always felt so fitting to have these friends in my life.

We'd grown up together, these friends of mine, 

and it always seemed, somehow, that our lives intertwined.

Oh, throughout the years, some would come and go

but we'd keep in touch so our friendships continued to grow.

It would sometimes be years before we'd gather again,

chatting about our lives, and of the places we'd been.

And as we got older sailing wasn't as easy as it once was

but we'd make it through, with the grace from God above.

We'd look at each other and marvel at the fact

that we somehow found a way to keep journeying back. 

As with age, friends depart to a life greater than this

and while knowing that, they are still deeply missed.

 I could not thank God enough nor have wished for more

than the friendships and fond memories of SunnySide Shore.
