To A True Friend: I Love You


The day I met you
I found a friend. . .
And a friendship that
I pray will never end.

Your smile - so sweet
And so bright -
Kept me going
When day was as dark as night.

You never ever judged me,
You understood my sorrow.
Then you told me it needn’t be that way
And gave me the hope of a better tomorrow.

You were always there for me,
I knew I could count on you.
You gave me advice and encouragement
Whenever I didn’t know what to do.

You helped me learn to love myself
You made life seem so good.
You said I can do anything I put my mind to
And suddenly I knew I could.

There were times when we didn’t see eye to eye
And there were days when both of us cried.
But even so we made it through:
Our friendship hasn’t yet died.

Circumstances have pulled us apart,
We are separated by many miles.
Truly, the only thing that keeps me going
Is my treasured memory of your smile.

This friendship we share
Is so precious to me,
I hope it grows and flourishes
And lasts unto infinity.

You are so extraspecial to me
And so this to you I really must tell:
You are my one true friend,
My Guardian Angel.

Our friendship is one-in-a-million
So  let’s hold on to it and each other.
We cannot let this chance of pure bliss fly away
For there will never be another.

I love you.
I will always love you.

"In the garden of life, friends are the flowers."  I hope your friendship never dies.  So many of mine already have.

 Hope,

I don't remember reading this, but alas, here is my name again.  True friendship never dies.  I know that now.  Off to send it to my best friend.  Amazing work.  Beautiful read.  I bow down to you.

Sounds like a true friend you have there

Life has got to chnage,
Nothing stays the same,
Soon it will be time,
For me to move on.

Lil'Lizzie is off at school and gets on
very infrequently ...
I will mail her this link so that she will
know you all loved her beautiful poem.

ESP..i love this so much..
i too have an 'angel'..and his smile always brightened my day even from afar...and his laughter......wow..i can still hear his laughter--it healed me always..  i havent seen joel in many years..but when i think of him..i cant help but smile..   and even his laughter via phn lines..has the same effect as it always did....  

everyone should have such an angel  

hugs, g
