TO ALL MY FRIENDS - HERE & EVERYWHERE


What does a true friend share?

How much can one bear?

 

Eyes skyward

I see a tear

Would I dare

Call for a taxi

When I knew I had no fare.

What would you do when I arrived there?

Who would care!

 

How much can one share?

Riddles and metaphors

Uncovered from the rug on the floor

Mysteries and secrets

Printed and passed out leaflets.

 

I like it when you whisper in my ear

You tell me things you don’t want anyone else to hear.

That’s what true friends share

Their joys

Their pains

Their gains

Their toys.

 

So let’s take a ride

We’ve got nothing to hide!

Climb a mountainside

By a campfire abide

Pitch a tent

Follow the scent

Track down a trail

 

Catch a cottontail

That might be our next meal!

There may not be much meat

To eat

But I’ll share.

You see, true friends care

Even when there’s little fanfare

Cause I know you'll still be there to cheer.

 

You see, all my true friends have become so dear.

Hello Douglas,

A friendship poem that we need today. "true friends care ....even when there's nothing left there..." What does a friend share? Our times will reveal it, I think.

amy true friends are there for me too whenever i am in need. I cry the tears with them too and I sympathyze with them and celebrate things with them too. A true friend will never go against you or leave you stranded. I have many many true friends and intend to keep them.
