My Friend A short little poem about a friend I met, One quiet evening while surfing the net So many rooms had I been in and around, Yet such beautiful traits have I seldom found. Inner strength and a caring heart, Perfect cornerstones from which to start Always patient, never terse Please listen carefully to this next verse. A new dawn arises, such a beautiful gleam Her kindness spreads across creations’ scene No escaping her touch, not a single soul Inspiring the lonely to reach for higher goals. Why does she do it, why does she care, What’s in her heart that allows her to share? Those special traits with a man like me One whom she’s never met and may never see? There’s only one answer and it’s in front of my face One of heavens special souls, touched by God’s grace And every so often He smiles on mankind And reveals a special jewel, a very rare find! This world is a better place for having her here And how lucky I am that she is always so near For when I am lonely or just a bit down Her gentle voice lifts my spirit off the ground She may never know what she has done for me As a man of few words, I can often be But if my soul could talk, these words it would impart, Not a single step I take without you in my heart I would like to end this poem on a special way About that beautiful friend whom I met that day Enriching my life as few others could do Maybe God’s grace has shined on me too? The end….. |

TinCan~ This is just the loveliest expression of your feelings for someone who obviously cares very much for you and others. How very thoughtful of you to express it so well. I sure hope you share it with the person who has so touched your life. Must be that your friend also sees something very special in you ... I think I can see just what she sees .... a compassionate soul. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Beautiful poem. You are lucky to have found a friend so true. They are rare, don't let them go! ~Kelly  ~Kellsue Reflect upon your present blessings-of which every man has many-not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. ~Charles Dickens We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill |
