Dear Big Bear,
You taught me, that lying will never truly help you; Your arrow of truth would never miss it’s mark and I felt it firmly sticking in my backside, many times.
You showed me what it meant to never miss a chance to enjoy simple life; Smiles, hugs, kisses, breathing in the air, feeling the sun, and of course zerberts!
You made me realize the painful things about myself that needed to change; You were always accepting, and patient with my many mistakes.
You gave me a sense of safety and security I had never known; No matter where I ran off too, you where always somewhere in the distance waiting quietly for me to come back by your side, right where I belonged.
You laughed at me, opening up a new sense of humor in my world, teaching me not to take things so serious, just relax, everything’s okay now.
I never really understood why you stood by me so long, or what it was about me you cherished so much. But with the way you never missed a moment to remind me how beautiful of a person I am, I hardly cared. All that matter was you were my best friend, And I prayed that would never change.
You’re far away now, and my heart doesn’t understand this, my mind really doesn’t either, but I have always trusted you, and your judgment my dear friend, so I will wait, as you did for me, so long ago.
Thank you, for broadening my mind, opening my heart, teaching me how to love myself, and my life no matter what shape it’s in, thank you for helping me grow as a person and in my spirit. But most of all, Big bear, thank you for never giving up on me.
Whitney
Author notes
I miss my best friend, Big bear. This write isn't very "poetic" I suppose in a sense, but it's true honesty from my heart. And in my eyes, honesty is beautiful.

Awww! This is heartwarming. It sounds like someone cared enough to love you for who you are. Yes, it may not be in poem form, but it still reads like one and it is most definitely from your heart. Thanks for entering. keep the ink flowing and good luck!

I've written something like this myself, for someone I used to call "piglet" in code name - like your big bear!
Fantastic; this held so many memories [or sounded like it did!] - and though it's not written in poetic form, I really enjoyed reading it
Best wishes in the contest. -
It may not be an actual poem, but if you ask me, it's just as poetic as anything else I've read. It reads beautifully, and I love the process of feelings you were bringing about all through this penning. I watched you grow through your words as this person allowed you to grow through life. I, too, know someone like this in my own personal life. We're not quite the same anymore, but he's bettered me, and that love will never die. Thank you for having me look at myself as well as you.
