For You My Friend

There is only a few times in life

When I have run across true friends

The kind of friends that will be there

No matter what the situation may be

Friends that I can be myself around

Whether I’m having the best day ever

Or the worst possible day in history

These are the people I want to hold on to

With all of my might and never let go

You are my friend

For this I thank you

    A most wonderful tribute to your friend..and what better way to express that you appreciate them, than through poetry. I will always feel it's one of the nicest gifts to give someone. I'm sure this friend will feel very touched by this piece. We do need to look after our friends, because like you say, they see us at our best and worst times, yet they still stay

    Marvelous Work

    There is not many left that you can call your real true friend,as many of us know how friends can really be.
    Once and a blue moon in your life time one real friend will pass by and just say may I help or give you a shoulder to cry on,or even maybe say your my true friend for life.
    Beautiful written I love it alot

    friendship a sweet responsibility never an opportunity
    friends that no matter what they will be there for you
    that helps you feel in your fright a sense of security
    that by just being there lift you up when you feel blue

    Wonderful!!!

    True friends are hard to come by. And the ones we come across better hold on to them.

    A wonderful tribute to a good friend, I am thinking.

    Amigos!!!

    Dear Annastacia,
    This poem just about says it all as far as true friendships are concerned. I am satisfied that I have a few friends in my life. I think I'll find one of these days that the people I have worked with for the last twenty years are my friends, even though we have never been to one another's homes or stuff you'd imagine friends doing.
    It is beautiful to have someone who's special though! Happened to me a few times.
    To have a friend is to be a friend, that is the rule of thumb!
    Good luck to you both!

    Ahh, yes I emailed to him before I posted it. I wrote tonight as I was sitting in my room thinking of how much I appreciated what he and I share. I will make a point to stop by and read some of your work. Thanks for the comment.

    I know there are times in everybodies life we feel alone and that we don't have any true friends. But look deep and hard and I bet there is ONE person out there who truly cares about you. If you still have trouble finding that person then consentrate on the here and now and work hard at creating a friendship with someone new that will last. Thank you for stopping by.
