RARE

Loyalty, Honesty, and Friendship is hard to find.

Someone to listen

To really care

Without doubt or envy

To all you share

 

Someone to hold

Every piece of your heart

Through fire and cold

In every storm of life

 

Someone to share glass of wine

Outside the porch at night

Laugh and cry and scold you

With all the love within

 

Someone who can see through you

Understand your nod and glance

Stay on your side when you are wrong

Then punish you only after she is sure it is safe

 

Someone who accept you even when it is strange

Hurts when you leave

Respect you even when you are not around

And never hesitates to call you friend

 

It is rare

Very rare

Then, the one you have treasure

Yes, look closely around you, they are there

I miss my best friend.

How beautifully you capture all those amazingly warm human facets of a good friendship. Your words are simple yet full of such magic. A very elating, uplifting poem. So good for the soul...Loved the pic too.

I have also been missing my best friend, who died a little over 3 years ago. This is an amazing tribute to your best friend & sometimes it only touches our lives in small tastes, never lasting long enuf. Your observations are fresh & originality is the most important thing in writing, to my way of thinking (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you ma'am. Margie, I am sorry for your best friend. Those moments are priceless. Others complain that their best friends sometimes turn to worst enemies. I wonder the foundation of such friendship. Thank you so much for taking time to read this, I love you.
