A wise man once told me of things that he saw; of traits you might call, shall we say, character flaws. "You trust too easily, you fall too fast; you must take it slow if it's going to last." He meant well with his words, he wasn't being unkind; for happiness and love is what he hopes I will find. "I get the message" is the word I must send, so I walked away from my very best friend. "But he's not a lover, just a friend" you say. True, but I met him the very same way. I trusted completely in the blink of an eye; therefore, I felt that I must say goodbye. The words spoken by him were not in vain, but the lesson has caused me a great deal of pain. The cost of admitting the truth that he told has been the loss of a friendship that was made of gold. You might now be wondering what my friend thinks of me, but he and the wise man are one in the same you see. [This message has been edited by freckles (edited 03-08-2000).] |

Wow! I'm not really sure what to say about this...brings a lot of mixed emotions, that's for sure! But this is a great poem, all the same. Wonderful job, freckles!  Little Spyro T. Dragon |

Thank you all for taking the time to read and respond. twinsgd---Your words are always spoken with kindness; therefore, they are always gentle. childomine---Thank you. It has been said that a "mere" friend will agree with you, but a "true" friend will dare to argue. Gene---Thank you for the kind words; it's always nice to hear from you. (Did you get that taller ladder yet?)  Spyro---Awww........shucks........thanks!!! It's always nice to hear from you too, Spyro! Denise---Thank you for the kind words. The person I speak of in this poem truly is a wise man; I am lucky to have had the opportunity to call him my friend. [This message has been edited by freckles (edited 03-09-2000).] |
