This is a poem about myself and a friend, one that did not confide in me about something in their life and it made me feel like I was not worthy enough to be given the chance to at least offer heart felt advice or help with their struggle. Maybe my feelings are just hurt because they did not come to me, I am not sure at this point but felt I had to write about it. To A Friend When time seems to stand still Yet all troubles collide in tempest assault Let me be your shelter from the storm The light within your dark Let me be your stronghold fortified in Loving gesture blanketing you in tranquillity Concealing your tenderness from Storms wake giving relief due time to heal I being merely human flesh as you Walking in furious agitation incessantly Offer up in humble state my soul freely Without wanting in return No modesty or ego in the end will save face If you need to find humility it’s always there It’s a matter of letting go of ones pride And truly seeking out the answers needed I thought we had connection in our hearts Never doubting the others intentions You have always been there for me But I question why I can’t be there for you Giving me no chance seems unfair to say the least I would love to share my wisdom with someone Whom I have cherished for many a year Proving that my love knows no bounds Let me be your shelter from the storm The light within your dark A friend is one whom will honestly provide Heart felt knowledge no matter the outcome By, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) [This message has been edited by Cerenity (edited 05-25-2001).] |

Cerenity, this is a very good expression of what can be given of one's self... all we can do is allow people to know we are there for them... sometimes, they have to do a bit of the reach, themselves.... |

Nice poem, I hope the target reads this one, I think that friends should be able to share in everything . But for gods sake don't ruin a close friendship over it . I enjoyed it a lot, many thanks .

Thank you to both of you for your kind reply's, I have known her sence child hood and she has to me always seemed to have good fortune in life never having to struggle to much for anything, I on the other hand seem to have to fight for everything, I guess it surprised me to find out something that I would of thought should be shared and wasn't until way down the line and only in passing, I guess it's something for me to think on and by no means would I jepordize my relationship over something as this, thank you again. Love, Cerenity |

I being merely human flesh as you Walking in furious agitation incessantly Offer up in humble state my soul freely Without wanting in return It is true that friends should be able to confide but prehaps for your friend it was a matter of pride, whatever the reason it does hurt when a friend hides something. Let your friend know your feelings and maybe you can help her through her problem, after all a problem shared is a problem halved. A well crafted poem that I hope your friend will read.

Great use of the phrase, Cerenity. It is often more difficult to receive when one is a giver. The difficulty your friend is having allowing you to minister to him and/or his or family's needs may be just because he believes he should stand on his own to feet and that getting help might tarnish his self-sufficient record. |

I relate so much to this poem. It is very well written and speaks of the torn feeling in not being able to get past something...despite the wanting to. I had a situation with my sister/once best friend that, despite our best efforts to heal, will forever be a tatter in our bound. Your great expression made me think of this..and think on it..thank you |

people are not always ready at that moment to share their life with a person but i believe that with time they will share ones feelings all a person can do as a good friend is be there when that person is ready for you great poem i love your use of words |
