The Value of Friendship By Larry Chadwick I have a dear friend from long ago, Who taught me a lot about life. But what benefited me the most, Was what she taught me about strife. We would often seem to disagree, And tell each other vociferously. Then when we were finally done, She would still be friends with me. Arm in arm we would walk away, Laughing at some joke together. Conflict wasn’t the end at all, Just a part of friendships weather. February 10, 2002 Vi Scott...I miss you and will always love you! lc |

Real friendships stay in tact even through the ups and downs. We learn to accept the good with the bad, and most of all we agree to disagree. To me, it's when we learn to bend that we bond even closer. I think that's the way it's supposed to be. We're idividuals after all. Always a good message from you Larry. |

Larry, this is a good poem about the strengths of friendship. It's great when you can disagree and it doesn't change the relationship. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

i don't wanna be a skipping CD and repeat all the above... but this is well written and shares an excellent, valued point. that's what friendship is all about. spitting fire at each other...then dropping it to tell your latest joke. "There he goes. |

True friends are rare and wonderful, Larry. They say that a true friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway. I really liked your poem!  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

"Thou shalt not judged"....A true friend never goes there. Nothing hurts mire than investing all of that trust and love into someone who isn't what you descibed in your poem. This is a beautiful tribute to a woman who sounds very special. A good friend is more valuable than all the money, success, freedom in the world. I really liked this much!! |

Hello Larry How very true are these words you write and such an important part of any friendship. To feel comfortable with a person one must be able to say what he/she feels even if the other disagrees. Take care......Sue Suetang |
