Things may come, and things may go,
They may come fast, they may come slow.
But all in one, we'll always be "The Two";
That's why I'm putting all my faith in you.
You'll change yourself and I'll change too,
But our friendship will stay true.
And because changing will be everything we do
That's why I'm putting all my faith in you.
Because you took away my fears,
And into laughter turned my tears,
'Cause you're the one that anything can do
That's why I'm putting all my faith in you.
In bad, in good, in all that's us,
You'll always be the one I trust.
And 'cause I know we will get through this too,
That's why, my friend, I'll always put my faith in you.

A touching poem ...
which you probably felt deep within as you wrote it! (not to mention all the trophys for it, certified its validity for others) Congratulations! To me there is nothing finer than a friend for life and that means someone that knows all and accepts all! Husbands & lovers must sometimes be sugar-coated because the truth is hard to handle but a friend is truly someone who loves unconditionally. As an older person I realize that that person is the one to be truly respected. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on my favorite subject! joy

an enjoyable write
''That's why I'm putting all my faith in you.''
A beautiful line...this is a great declaration of friendship, your friend is very lucky to have you for a friend

I am so glad that this poem made you feel hopeful!! If anything, poetry is meant to enlighten one's heart, and ease their pain - I understand you're going through a hard time now...
Trust me, it's all gonna be alright, and soon you will only think of it as of a painful memory, far-far away in the past. Huggies to make you feel better?

Wow
Excellent. Just gave me shivers. Made me want to giggle, cry, smile, and faint all at the same time! I especially like the fact that you kept saying, 'That's why I'm putting all my faith in you.'
Makes me smile and feel hopeful just because its about giving another person hope.
The title is capturing, and continues all through the poem as you kept it up. I can't even say to make it better, because it's just inspiring!
Great Job!
-

Oh!! But when you say "trophies", the plural form is right...the "y" turns into "ie". Or so I was told, LOL!
Thanks^_^

-
A lot of talent for your age.
The repetition in this makes it seem almost lyrical, a very beautiful piece.
What you said and how you said it really makes me love this poem, what a great write! After the contest I'll be looking at your other poems to see if they're all as wonderful as this one
It certainly put a smile on my face!
Good Luck!

A worthy entry if ever I saw one. Your feelings for your best friend shines through every single line. You are both very lucky. It rhymes very well and the message couldn't be better. Best wishes!
-
Thank you for this beautiful dedication, it was a joy to read.
Please join us in our final contest. One poet, two poems, but must be new writes, any pre-writes will be DQ'd. We look forward to reading you.
Sue and Jeff
-
Beautiful and inspiring. You have penned quite the dedication here - nicely done.
Thanks for entering,
-
Beautiful
This was truly beautiful. I saw it as a very deep and emotional poem written in a plain and simple sense because your friendship is simple; a love that you will always share. The simplex and almost Dr. Sues like ryhme helped you in this case because you kept with your theme. All of this really added beauty to your poem, which is very rare. I absolutely loved your style and cant tell you this enough. Instead of sounding smart and saying Friendship is the heat from the suns bursting rays you spoke in more "friend like" terms while still portraying emotion. Congratulations for making the finalist list and sorry for the essay I just wrote you. -
-
Aww, thank you!! Both for making it to the finalists' list, and for the nice comment. Probably the best I've gotten in a while...
-
-
It is wonderful to put your faith in someone. That can create some wonderful good karma if it is the right person. Well done and the best of luck in the contest
-
Wow

Well done and thank you so much for entering!

Rhyme, rhythm and heart. This is a stunning, emotionally geared poem. Very touching and moving for me.s and best wishes alays... ~Genie~

Friendship is a mighty powerful and wonderful thing and it's a blessing to have someone to put your faith in
Thank you for sharing! All the best to you! -

-
Faith builds relationship. A beautiful write.
-

-
This was nice nad quaint. very heart-felt, the only thing i might critize is that the rhyming was a little over whelming for my taste but it still had nice sentiment. Plase don't be mad at the critisim. thanks for entering! ~hara

-
this was... nice. I'm not sure if it is what I am looking for though. It fits the title of the contest, but not what the contest is really about. Please feel free to enter something else, something more geared twards what the contest is for.

Great Rhyme
I love great rhyming poetry. It seems many have forgotten how to do that. Again I really enjoyed this fine piece
-
A beautiful write. I really enjoyed it.
Good use of words and great timing going on too.
Well done and good luck.
~K~ -
Beautifully written i love it thanks for entering my contest and helping me to heal gud luck
-
This is beautiful, I see why you have won many trophies with this one, though I wanted fresh masterpieces this one fit my rule of two and three perfectly, so thank you, for participating and reading the rules! Beautiful poem about friendship

thank you once again.
Riftkin -
Wow, This is beautiful!! I think I am going to edit my contest so you can enter this one in there. Thanks for telling me about it. My Jelly is just like this! Thank you for telling me about this
-
bloody hell i was shocked to see how many contests uv entered this into!! great poem though congrats on the golds u have won xx
-
this was good, however the rhyem scheme seemed too cliche and reptition doesn't really work with this kind of piece....you did get the point across though
-
Wonderful
A wonderful, simple piece that I can relate to. I really like this and the image that it presents. Friendship is so important to people nowadays and I'd be lost if I did not have friends to talk to.
Just one thing I did spot were the dashes ( - ) at the end of the third lines of the first three stanzas. I believe this makes those lines look unkempt and untidy. They should be removed. -
-
Thank you, Shauna!! Indeed, once I looked at them from this perspective, they simply didn't ..."belong" there. Removed!
-
-
well written
i liked this very much. thanks for entering my contest and best of luck. well written and a wonderful read. thanks again for entering. -
I liked it. I think that this is a true friend.You brought this out in this piece.The feeling you conveyed were great and You are a great friend for life.good job.
-
Your usage of "Cause" short for "Because" should have the single apostrophe in front of them. "Because" and "Cause" are two different words, with two different meanings and are pronounced differently.
The "to, you, do" etc., rhyming is too repetitious in this piece. I could understand if the repetition was the main point of the piece, in such regard but I don't think it is. I feel, in such regard, the rhyming could be better. Simple is fine, too simple just makes bad rhymes.
-
Lmao CHar, hell i had to go through all them contests to find the comment section .....wellworthy of them all im sure.
I loved it , very sweet conection between friends. I have seen this in many here and felt it as well. I am honored to read this one here brought for to my attention through my sweet Ap stepdaughters love and care.
Thank you Char.
I loved it
-

Heba -
good luck and it is a nice poem
-
Good luck in the contest.
-
Thank you for entering my contest and good luck. This is a well written poem about one of the greatest things a person can ever have. That is a best friend. You are a lucky person to have one. The only other comment that I would make is that the following line seems to be awkward:
Cause you're the one that anything can do-
It could be changed to something like this:
Cause there is nothing that you can't do-
Just a suggestion that you can either use or discard as you see fit. -
this was really good. thanx for entering
-
Thank you for your contest submission, I do need to ask you review the rules and edit your submission appropriately. Please IM me and let me know this has been done, thank you.
A sweet poem, but a little stiff in the flow, almost reticent, as if you were holding back. Best of luck in this and all of your endeavors. Hetohke'e * 
-
This is sweet, but to be honest a little cliched, it has a hallmark card quality to it and a lot of the rhyme is of the kind tht's recycled over and over in poems like this.
'And cause in laugh you turned my tears'
Surely that should be 'laughter' to make sense?
It was also a bit repetitive and had absolutely no progression of the thoughts in it.
Thankyou for entering. -
I like this a lot thanks for entering and good luck ~S
