Very nice write, inspirational. Good luck on the contest. I only joined the soup in June this year. I was on Poets Workshop before until it closed its doors. I started writing poetry in 2005. Thanks for sharing this poem and thank you for your comments on my poems. Love and Blessings, Caroline.

Great rhyme, Sue and wonderful message about friendship... enjoyed it... glad u liked The Doll poem.. I too let my doll go .. my sons always made fun of her .. and me .. for having her for as long as I did.. I miss her... but maybe some little girl will be happy now that I have given her up... have u looked up HGarvey Daniel Esquire lately? He is having a neat thing for Soup poets.. check it out...

Friendship is a golden wealth, between humans, next to friendship to God Himself. Love God and your neighbor. A life partner, should certainly first be your friend indeed. God bless Sue! Sincerely, Love, Moses
