My Friend Sharon

I reckon this poem is long overdue Sharon this poem is in honor of you I’ve come to respect the things you say Let them brighten and enlighten my day When it comes to advice it’s hard for me For I once was a fish in a bottomless sea Lost in the waves that seemed to forever roll Always one step away from my pot of gold Never knowing who or what I could trust Lost in the ashes and buried in the dust Your friendships a treasure I will forever hold Your advice is worth more than that pot of gold When it comes to respect what more can I say? I reckon your one person who has earned her way I reckon you and my wife would get along fine And your husband would be a dear friend of mine But as fate would have it were a continent apart But from my family to yours we love your heart

Awwww! Oh, you are so so so so sweet. This is another worthy tribute to a beautiful gal whom I think, we all love here at the soup. Sharon befriends most everyone here, comments generously giving wisdom, praise and love in each comment - what more could one ask in a friend and fellow poet? WE LOVE YOU SHAR!!! Great Michael, an honor to have a poem written about oneself, it shows we have touched ones soul. Love Kristin

Hi Michael Wow! What a beautiful tribute to our friend Shar. I can feel her heart as she reads this as it brings a tear to my eyes as well. I've come to feel the same way about her. She is a beacon of light here. I couldn't imagine what it would be like without her beautiful spirit here on PS for her support is never ending, not to mention her poetic talent!!! Love Light Truth Patricia What a heart you have Michael....what a heart!
