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 but 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. ----

Can a friend be next of kin?

A friend can be next of kin if they are closely related to you. For example, when asked for next of kin on hospital admission forms- that would be the person to contact if there are complications. It is usually a spouse, parent, sibling, or child but you can name any relative as your next of kin. A friend who is not related to you cannot be named "next of kin," but there are ways to name that person as the one to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to.
