"Around The Corner"
        -By Henson Towne


        Around the corner I have a friend 

        In this great city that has no end, 

        Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, 

        And before I know it, a year is gone 

        And I never see my old friends face, 

        For life is a swift and terrible race, 

        He knows I like him just as well 

        As in the days when I rang his bell, 

        And he rang mine.



        We were younger then,

        And now we are busy, tired men. 

        Tired of playing a foolish game, 

        Tired of trying to make a name. 

        "Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim" 

        "Just to show that I'm thinking of him" 

        But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And 

        distance between us grows and grows. 

        Around the corner!-yet miles away, 

        "Here's a telegram sir-" 

        "Jim died today."

        And that's what we get and deserve in the end. 

        Around the corner, a vanished friend. 



        If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say what 

        you mean. Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this 

        opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you. Seize the 

        day and have no regrets. 



        Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for 
        they have helped make you the person you are today and are what
        it's all about anyway. Pass this along to your friends. Let 
        it make a difference in your day and theirs. The difference 
        between expressing love and having regrets which may
        stay around forever.


        This is a love chain letter. Within 1 hour you must 
        send it to other people. Within 5 days you will have a
        miraculous occurrence in your relationships. You will find 
        new love or have a old love rekindled. If you do not send 
        it, you will have once again passed up the opportunity to do 
        something loving and beautiful and continue the trend that 
        gives.


        I'm not going to make silly claims that this same letter has 
        been traveling around since before the advent of email and 
        typewriters. It doesn't contain gruesome stories of what has 
        happened to the people who haven't sent it on. It doesn't 
        need to.


        If you've received this it is because someone cares for you and
        it means there is probably at least someone for whom you care. 

        If you're too busy to take the few minutes that it would take 
        right now to forward this to ten people, would it be the first 
        time you didn't do that little thing that would make a
        difference in your relationships? I can tell you it certainly 
        won't be the last. I don't have to make up silly stories about 
        people being hit by buses or crushed by falling disco balls for
        not sending this letter on. You've seen the result of this 
        neglect in your own relationships that you have allowed to fade,
        dissolve, and fall into disrepair. 

        Take this opportunity to set a new trend. Take a few minutes 
        to send this to a few people you care about, just to let them 
        know that you're thinking of them. It's even better if
        they're not people you already correspond with every 
        week. The more people you send this to, the better
        luck you will have. And the better you'll get at reaching out to
        those you care about.


        Here's the deal:


        Forward this letter to at least 10 different people; within 1 
        hour of receiving it.

        Do it, and reap what you sow: 

        luck in love,
        people who care for you, and 
        that warm glowy feeling that 
        comes from loving others. 

        Don't do it, and suffer the consequences
        of being alone, wrapped up in your own affairs, 
        and being too busy to do the things
        you actually care about. 

        May love litter your life with blessings!! 

        The End
