A Response To My First Poem

Come Be My Friend Softly Gently Let us be warm and friendly. Curious But cautious Happiness is much too precious. Marveling Wondering What days ahead will bring. Softly Gently Let us be warm and friendly. 13 November 2014 I Will Be Your Friend Softly we have tread the road to Friendship Lane; Gently we have stepped to cause not undue pain. Curious as a child you saw the difference in lives, cautious till the end lest you bleed from careless knives. Marveling of days and now you’ve found a few, kindred gentle spirits respecting justice, like you. Now you found in life though cautious you have been, there will always be a time you’re pained within. Then you wonder how, so softly you may have tread yet on hindsight find that someone’s heart you’ve shred. I will be your friend but be not quick to bind yourself and say it wouldn’t end; Be open-hearted, wise and kind. There are friends for each, that’s true, keep close to your heart the ones who bring out the best in you; One true friend outshines even the sun. 30 September 2015 A Response to Your first Poem Contest Sponsor: The Silent One

Kim this is beautiful, I've experienced this with my children, and they come through it and it can be so painful for them at the time. As a parent it can be so tough, we know it will be OK, but, they have still have so much to learn.
