A friend's a very precious gift Sent by God up above- Someone to laugh and cry with That you will always love. My friend, I can't put into words Just what you mean to me. No matter what will happen My friend you'll always be! ***sorry it's so terse!*** Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |

Elizabeth - In reading through this poem, I did not find it terse. The very thought of NOT having a friend ... now that would be worse ! What a lucky friend to have received these thoughts from you. I'd say you put it into very nice words, indeed. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
