Far More Than Friends

I thought and I thought I thought and I thunk so very much thinking My thoughts made me drunk My friends are great friends Friends that are friendly and true They are far more than friends These lovely friends one and two They're considerately considerate They consider what they do By considering the possibilities It's consideration that makes them true What confuses is confusing Nothing seem to confuse them all When I'm feeling confused It's those friends who I call Depend on the dependable Depending on if it's true If the friends you depend on Can also depend on you Being kind brings out kindness My kindly friends always do The very best kind of friends make you happy not blue True givers are a gift It's a gift to spend time with them The gift that keeps on giving Over and over again. So thinking turns to thanking Thanks for all they have done thoughts and a heartfelt thank youse For being kind and such great fun Dedicated to our friends Al and Jay who's kindness and friendship mean the world to us. I lack the words to adequately express our appreciation. So I gift this bit of silly as a token of our affection. You are truly special people and have been God sent into our lives. Al and Jay you are loved. Merry Christmas 2016 Rick and Mary

Very sweet tribute to friendship, Rick. ok I have to admit, it kind of sounds like you've had one too many champagnes (I almost expected a hiccup) with all the humor in repetitive words lol but, it is so cute and such a sweet friendship poem, I wouldn't change a thing. Lucky are all of you, to have each other. hugs

I really liked this style you were using, I thought you were starting with a Dr. Seuss type poem and then saw it was all about your gratitude for these two wonderful friends. Merry Xmas, RIchard. You rock.

Very loving and classy poem, Richard. Great shout out to your true friends. I love the flow and vibe of this poem. It's little like a modern Nursery rhyme poem for grownups. Very cool. Ty for breaking out your holiday muse. So enlightening this poem is. I loved it. Many blessings of love and peace to you and yours, my poetic friend. RW
