The glass gallon jar
Soaked up the sun
And split into broken pieces
The clean-up never ceases
When hot and cold become one.

Storms above us
Hot and cold
Thunderous breakings
Goosebump shakings
Even lightning sucks its thumb!

I’m running hot and cold today
As I think about a friend;
Within me is so much compassion
That a container can’t contain it
But, fact is, compassion is not a hand.

I wish upon my friend
A pat upon a back,
A smile to fill the air
Immersing one in warmth
And the knowledge that I care.

Whatever trials they're facing, someone is a lucky person... for they have a true friend. *S*

This is beautiful, kind lady... pure reflection of your heart! *S*

Enchantress,
  The luck runs both ways.  My friend helped me through one of the hardest times in my life.  Thank you for your sweet words.  You're wonderful.

Nightshade,
   You don't know how I value your responses.  You and your sister are very dear to me.  Matter-of-fact, everyone here is just incredible!  Love this place!

suthern,
   You're right; it came straight out of the heart.
Thanks, Sweetie.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

How very funny! And as for friends it seems you rank among the best. Excellent write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I'm sorry I'm so late to this... but then, it does deserve to be at the top! Friends are so important and you are a good one. It's easy to see by reading this! A wonderful poetic endeavor, and a wonderful gift for your friend

Take care!

Always, Alyssa
