Fair Weather Friends - Collaboration With Jan Allison

You told me we’d always be friends Out of the blue our friendship ends I was your ‘forever friend’ - you told me so Now you simply don’t want to know Thought you the one on who I could rely A comforting shoulder when I wanted to cry A shining beacon that brought me light Our friendship was a pure delight You vanished, didn’t say a word Now all my questions go unheard No reply I need so much to know why How could you not have said good bye! A tear I shed as I think of you tonight Of all that was so happy and bright I love you still more than you could know I am desolate that I cannot tell you so Soul mate and friend we were one Linked in a bond that could not be undone Yet here I sit the bond broken My heart aches, my pain unspoken

One who becomes a fair weather friend was never a soul mate to being with. you two did a GREAT job with this poem.

Thanks Andrea, It is really easy working with Jan, I have learned a lot from reading hers and Jadazzle United's poetry. I think this poem was inside us both and just needed a Quill and some ink to come into the world. take care Love Shane xxx

Thanks Anne Lise, i thought that we complimented each other with this co-write it just flowed. I remember a quote “Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.” Jean de La Fontaine This i think is a truism that we should take to heart. Love Shane
