Shane Cooper Poet Rhyme

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

Andrea Dietrich January 22, 2015 at 11:28 PM One who becomes a fair weather friend was never a soul mate to being with. you two did a GREAT job with this poem. Shane Cooper January 22, 2015 at 11:36 PM 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

Anne-Lise Andresen January 21, 2015 at 1:41 PM - Shane, a great co-write with you and Jan - There are two types of friends: Friends for a while and friends for a lifetime :) - (7) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Shane Cooper January 21, 2015 at 1:49 PM 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
