Analysis of Lost But Not Forgotten

Ronald C Schaffer 1964 (Pennsylvania)



Asking yourself the question that has you wondering why
Without the chance of actually saying "good-bye"
Reach for that something special you always wanted to do
To clear your mind and think all things through
Warm special thoughts of your friend... Forever and ever
Remembering all the good things that you both had together
The friend you thought of quite often
Always remembered ...."LOST BUT NOT FORGOTTEN"
