Also, triple-feature style, a poem I wrote recently...
True Friendship
Life
will crash down all around you,
But
when it does you’ll know I’m near,
When
it drives you to your knees,
I will
wipe away your tears.
When
you feel like you are helpless,
And
the pain’s too much to bear,
I’ll
be there to hold your hand
And
show you that I care.
For I
know what true friendship is,
I
experienced it long ago,
When I
had a friend as strong as steel,
Who
with a word my heart had sealed,
But
that was long ago.
No
argument did separate us,
Just
the icy hand of death,
And
though I cried when my friend had gone,
I knew
that it was best.
We’d
spent many happy days,
And
we’d traveled far and wide,
We
were always right together,
Standing
strong, side by side,
We
rarely had a quarrel,
But
when we did we soon forgave,
For our
love each-other toward
Was
stronger than the grave.
Our
position was often awkward,
And
our friends would point and stare,
But we
defined true friendship,
So we
didn’t really care.
We
traveled through this world of strife,
Together
hand-in-hand
We laughed
at all life’s dangers,
For we
knew of a greater land.
Far
beyond the Foaming Rocks,
And
towering over this tiny land,
There’s
a world of beauty and majesty,
Designed
by a skillful Hand.
My
friend has already reached it,
My
friend is waiting there,
And I
am hurrying through this world,
The
delay is hard to bear.
