What is a Friend? A friend is someone you hold dear: Someone who is always there, through thick and thin; Someone who is only a phone call away. A friend is someone you can always rely on: Someone who is there to share your thoughts with; Someone to listen, no matter the subject. A friend is someone you can feel comfortable with: Someone you can sit silently beside, without conversation; Someone you do not need to fill the quiet moments with. A friend is someone you can trust: Someone who will guard your deepest secrets; Someone who will never let you down. A friend is someone who is not judgmental: Someone who will gently offer advice and opinions, Yet, someone who is not overbearing or critical. A friend is someone who can keep you grounded: Someone who can help you see through your obstacles; Someone to shoulder you through life's trials. A friend is someone who shares unconditionally: Someone to laugh and to cry with; Someone to lean on, through both the good and the bad. A friend is someone you choose wisely, For a friend is your own mirrored image: Someone to compliment your own self; Someone who indicates who you are as a person. A friend .... is what you are to me. /Kit McCallum [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 06-18-2000).] |

I do believe a friend is all of these things!! A very nice tribute to ~Friends~!!  Bridgette "Creation of woman from the rib of Man: She was not made from his head to top him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him; but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be loved." -Unknown |

Kit, Great poem -- almost a love poem, especially the way you end it. (maybe it's a future love poem? ) Anyway, my favorite stanza by far is the third, when you talk of a friend not needing to fill the quiet in -- beautiful, beautiful line. If this doesn't get in the book, what's the point of printing it? iiMike |

A friend is the missing link between existence and being not, the coolest shade when it is very hot, the reason for staying alive, in hope, the person who when you down offers you a rope... and many many more just like you mention it so beautifully here Kit, really loved this one... Regards, sudhir |

Kit, if you're this friendly to all your friends, then there must be a long queue to get on your friendship list I loved it!Eric "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

Would any poetry book be complete without a poem on something so important as friendship. I feel this would be an excellent contribution. Believe I'll send this back to the top. It reminds us all about what the true meaning of friendshiop is. Nice writing! dh A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
