That’s What Friends Are For...Between the Lines By Larry Chadwick Inspired by an exchange with Toerag. I remember when we met, That’s what friends are for And instantly we clicked. That’s what friends are for I knew that I could trust you, That’s what friends are for Even if I made you ticked. Our friendship was a match, That’s what friends are for Right from the very start. That’s what friends are for One always thought of the other, That’s what friends are for Even when we were apart. There for one another, That’s what friends are for Through the ups and downs. That’s what friends are for Taking time to be available, That’s what friends are for To make smiles out of frowns. Celebrating small things, That’s what friends are for Enjoying all that is good. That’s what friends are for Not forgetting the hard times, That’s what friends are for Although we wish we could. Counting on your friendship, That’s what friends are for Without a balance sheet. That’s what friends are for Knowing that it’s real, That’s what friends are for Makes life really sweet. I keep you in my heart,, That’s what friends are for And pray that you are blessed. That’s what friends are for Trusting God for His favors, That’s what friends are for Knowing He’ll do the rest. November 14, 2002 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. [This message has been edited by Larry C (11-14-2002 01:04 PM).] |

A beautiful sharing of friendship and caring Larry. Well done. "When we're torn apart, shattered and scarred, love has the grace to save us" Saints and Angels as sung by Sarah Evans [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (11-14-2002 01:09 PM).] |

Sorry, but I was out of town for the wedding of a boy I raised(not my son, but I claim him). Kacy, Well, of course you can keep it silly! And thank you. Ethel, And a good feeling it is indeed. Thanks. Donna, And a dear friend you are. Thanks. Kacy, SURPRISE! And you thought I was done. Actually, after I put it up it occured to me it made a better "red letter" edition! THANKS. M, I'm with you on that one! And thanks. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Karilea, THANK YOU! And it took me a bit to realize that's what this poem needed to be.  Thanks. Shenachie, You always get the nuances. You are a sweet woman. Thanks. Cpat, Hmmmm. That wasn't what I was thinking of, but how nice. Such kind words. Thank you so much. angsana, WELCOME to Passions! And thank you for such kind words. I'll watch for your poetry too. Vicky, Well now, thank YOU. And hey...how was that Pathfinder outing? I've been there done that countless times and always enjoyed it everytime. Hope you did too! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
