A Friend Knows

A FRIEND KNOWS
 DEDICALTED: TO CHANTELLE COOKE



       A friend knows what you need
       Like a bird with omniscient seeds.
       She is your sun and moon
       With a heart shaped spoon.

       So happy to fill any need,
      Yes and will do it today with speed.
      With alacrity and a smile,
      A friend goes miles and miles!

      She does not walk out of your life,
      Like a forgetful wife!
      A true friend is not a sometimes thing.
      She makes your heart just sing!

Valsa..... Hope you had a good time being away. I miss many POTDs. It’s not a religion for me. When I first came here I did.NOW I read wherever I chose. I don’t read POTDs so my name will be recognized.but Some do that. I want to be here at PS when it works for me. With my broken leg, I have exercises to do. So my schedule changed. I hope to be reading more of you and others. I share this POTD with Chantelle!

Being late, is better than not at all.Anyway, read what you like at PS.it’s great to have a friend like Chantelle! We never see one another as we are in different states. But I feel we are related. She was one of my First friends here and stuck with me. Thanks, BJ..Pangie..have a sweet day.

Lisa! I think this is one of the few times,. True, anyone aplologized to me. It’s a good practice and keeps us from growing fat heads)) I am not around since I broke my leg and bave not been beeping so well.true fends, well, or ill , pay attention and don’t ignore you, your comment holds much of who you are. Warm, interested, and complete! I especially liked your cute ending, “smile”. We all need these each day. With gratitude, Panagiota. Chantelle and I even have cute nicknames for one another....blessings, me.
