A heart of friendship and smooth polished gold
given eternal to touch and to hold.
A heart of wisdom and truthful advice
beating forever, if once and then twice.

A heart of caring, a heart of pure joy.
One of true sharing, no hidden deploy.
One of pure moments where giggles prevail
and meet in a place of two friends regale.

A voice that shall echo the canyons high
far above soaring a lone eagle’s fly.
Voice ever tender, a delicate touch...
Heard long through the ages, giving this much.

A hand that reaches and comforts at will
leaving true wisdom, in want but to fill.
Taking and guiding along a smooth trail
this hand of friendship...to raise and to hail.

This poem is a gift for any season...
and it trips so well off the tongue, too.
A must-read aloud poem...

Barry

Your beautiful words filled my heart with happiness.  No truer words have been spoken.

Take care.......Sue

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

This is absolutely your best and my favorite, gotta print this and add it to my
passions collection of poetry book.
Would you mind terribly?  Lovely Barry, simply lovely.
