I listened so very intently
To all the things you had to say
You had given me food for thought
With what you told me on that day

You fought for what was right
'tho you had done nothing wrong
Your life was turned upside down
But you remained so very strong

You're a credit to your children
So much for them you care
Your love is so very evident
For them you are always there

I am merely an outsider
Who only says what she feels
I applaud your determination
And admire you a great deal

We both value your friendship
And take our hats off to you
You are an example to so many
For all that you've been through

* * * * *

I wrote this for a good friend of
ours named Steve who has been through
so much and was able to rise above
his problems, spurred on by the great
love he has for his two girls.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Sue:  Your friends must receive so much encouragement and support from you and your poems are a special gift to them.
