I could use a friend to send me a smile,when I'm down
I did not know one could feel numb,stun and bummed
To day I so want to bury my head in the blankets
Hoping the day would go away
I have friends I listen to them forgot to return the favor
This has been the roughest year in my life
I have had my share of hurts,regrets and struggles in life
It been more like a thorn bush then a rose appearing
The jolly year around Christmas a close friend Susan died
Then the last day of January of 2008 very close friend Marilyn
May 12 th my husband was called home
August 10 th my brother was died and bury
I believe myself to have a caring heart
Deep now I need friends more then ever
To pull me out of this dark cloud of reality
Try to get back in the living
I like animals this is why I have five of them and some cats
Computers are my hobby
I help my friends in a ceramic shop
In my down time I wonder how will I pull it together
My reality was changed now how do I cope with it
Sometimes is happens so fast one does not have the time to breath
If you are in need of a friend so am I
My name is Brenda

Brenda, This is so sad. You certainly have been through much. 
I hope you are able to lean into God through your pain. He cares so much!
I hope you find more and more friends who truly care.

Brenda,
This is a touching poem, with the loss you have suffered, I would be numb too. There is yet a reason why you are still here and reaching out to others, your kind and caring heart blesses others, and your friendship is to be cherished. I know the void of your loss may never be filled but having friends will help make the path smoother. Thanks for sharing this thoughtful poem and may old and new friends be yours.
Dennis
