Around the corner - fluff, but the good kind

 "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.

If, 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!!
