I look at you
And see a friend
Whom through all tears
Has endured my pain as her own
And who when in trouble
Depends on me in return

I see a confidant
Who locks away all my secrets in her soul
And gossips about me only
Between her mind and heart

I see a playmate
Who shares my laughter and joy
And enjoys it just as much
And later looks back on it
Only to relive it all over again

And last of all
I see a shackle
Bound to me for life
By memories only we share
And thoughts of mine only she understands

This was written for a VERY close friend of mine, whom i love and treasure and always will. I love you Kellie!!

This is a very moving piece. I have one question though. A shackle? I understand what she was trying to say but a shackle is a burden. It is something that you have to bare. I do not believe that she meant that in this poem. Thanks for letting me state my opinion.

I think it's great you wrote this for your friend. I hope she knows how special she is to have a friend like you. Apparantly you realize full well the treasure that her friendship is.
