Can you read between the lines Can you feel what I'm not able to say Can you look past my words straight to my soul Sometimes it seems that you do Sometimes you know me better than I know myself Sometimes you even explain me to me Sometimes you see where I'm afraid to look How else do you always say just the right thing You can't quite read my mind But you certainly know me well I could say I've never had a friend like you before But the simple truth is: Before you, I've never had a friend Pepper |

Peppermint, this is so very sweet. What a treasure you have in your friend. Don't ever take that for granted. My best friend is the sister I never had but got to choose. Thanks for sharing. Cheryl |

Pepper darling girl this is outstanding truly awesome. I thought it was soooooooo good. Sometimes a poem speaks volumes this does. You obviously listen to yourself, and I’m listening to this poem it sings to me. YOU know how much I value my friends’ darling girl and YES I am privileged to count you among them. This shows you how close you and your friend are and I love it. I wish I had written this I really do. Poetry doesn’t get much better. Well, it does but you have to write it YOU really are an outstanding writer. No one ever writes like you do, YOU are superb   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

They are a treasure, so easily "lost" so easily "gone" and I know this feeling, the first one, the true one you make is more than special. thanks for this poem. Emily |

Sometimes you even explain me to me Sometimes you see where I'm afraid to look This says more than you can possibly know. |

"You can't quite read my mind But you certainly know me well" This is a beautiful tribute to a true friend indeed Pepper! I have a particular friendship that touches me at this level, and you've captured these sentiments perfectly. Much enjoyed! Best wishes, /Kit |
