A FRIEND......

A FRIEND ID LIKE A FLOWER,
   A ROSE TO BE EXACT.
OR MAYBE LIKE A BRAND NEW GATE,
   THAT NEVER COMES UNLATCHED.
A FRIEND IS LIKE AN OWL,
   BOTH BEAUTIFUL AND WISE.
OR PERHAPS A FRIEND IS LIKE A GHOST,
   WHOSE SPIRIT NEVER DIES.
A FRIEND IS LIKE A BLADE OF GRASS,
   THAT YOU CAN NEVER MOW,
STANDING STRAIGHT, TALL AND PROUD,
   IN A PERFECT LITTLE ROW.
A FRIEND IS LIKE A HEART,
   THAT GOES STRONG UNTIL THE END.
WHERE WOULD I BE IN THIS WORLD,
   IF I DIDNT HAVE YOU AS MY FRIEND.

extremely well versed. i like this a lot. whoever you write this for must be a real gem, and they are damn lucky to have a true blue pal like you too.

no offense to anyone else, but THIS IS MY STYLE OF WRITING!!
i love it!
it has a rythem AND a ryme and flows perfectily
it has a strong meaning thats not diluted by too many or too few words
this poem is...perfect...for lack of a better word (atleast this is how i have been writing so far and im glad that someone writes like me!)
anyway very good poem
i hope to see more  
(and if this isnt ur true style of writing, i understand i can be a fool sometimes) hehe

always follow your heart, never follow others unless it is truely where you want to go, and never give up a dream, maybe just set it aside for a while... :)

This is soooo sweet Erin.  A true friend will listen to what you have to say.  A best friend hears the words that you can't say.  I am so thankful everyday for my friends.  Thanks for reminding me how important they are.

Jason~~~I heard a quote but I cant remember the whole thing...About the best conversation with a friend is when you can just sit there without saying a word and get up and leave as if you just had the best conversation...I dont know its something like that...Anyways thank you for the reply!!!

ERIN,
Great description here. Picturesque and beautifully put.

A thought go unheard,
Let not one heart be broken
Dream of a perfect world.
