Dear Comrade

Thank you for celebrating the warrior in me And for being my shield in times of need Offering those shoulders to nurse in chivalry My battle-wearied heart when it doth bleed Thank you for celebrating my laughter And for giving me more reasons to smile Offering to laugh heartily with me hereafter My leaden soul could do to soar awhile Thank you for being you, imperfections and all And for making me more perfect with time Offering to grow together amidst life's curveball My overthinking mind could saunter in rhyme Thank you for being part of my journey here And for taking me on a roadtrip like no other Offering your hand when I stumble to safely steer My comrade you do pacify when life's pain I wonder Dear comrade, wishing you a big, heartfelt thank you for being my heart mind and soul!

What a sweet tribute to a special friend. Sadly, some here seem to revel in writing poetry depicting others in a negative light, or ridiculing them. How nice to read poetry that uplifts and makes us feel good

Thank you, Tom! Poetry should be a vehicle for expressing our emotions, heavy or light... but, it should never target unkindly...There's already enough hate in this world. Why ever add to it?!
