~For Daryl~

Skies of blue and pots of gold
Beyond the rainbow's end
Are just some of the things I'd give you
If I could, my friend.
I would ensure your happiness
Would last through all your days
And in the sky, the sun would shine
On you with gentle gaze.
If at all possible, I would
Do all these things for you
To make your life a pleasant one
And show my friendship true.
But as I have no power
Over these things, none at all-
I'll just extend my hand to you
To help you when you fall.
I have an ear to listen
Should one you ever need-
Anytime, I'm here for you
For I'm your friend, indeed.



Just see how virtue repays you, you turn and someone betrays you
Betray him first, and the game's reversed...
-from The Scarlet Pimpernel

Elizabeth~
You're just the kind of friend
that lasts throughout a lifetime.
Wonderfully written thoughts, poet.

Skys of blue and pots of gold...boy, I could use a friend like that, as a matter of fact, I could just use a friend! What a lovely poem.

Thank you, everyone...this poem means a lot to me (all of them do, but some are epecially important), and I'm glad you all liked it. My friend hasn't seen it yet, but I'm going to give him a copy. Thanks again to all of you...I appreciate all your kind words!
