Friend

Be my friend Walk with me when I am walking Sit with me when I am sitting Hug me when I need a hug Talk with me when I need someone to talk with Ignore me when I am angry Hold me when I am crying Be there through my sorrows Help me carry the load when I am struggling Be there when I need someone Help me move on with my life Be the one person who never judges me Show me how to be a better person Most of all love me for who I am With all my faults Also the good parts as well Just be the person you are My beloved My friend

I am Richard's mother and I wrote this for two of my friends. Have never done this before except my annual Christmas letters to my children. Thanks for the complements from you and all the lovely people on the soup. Richard is a special son and I am so very proud of him. He has a remarkable wife and son and he does me proud. I am truly blessed. Edith/MamaBear

I thank you for all the kind words. You are nice to an amateur poet and I appreciate it. This is probably my only contribution to the soup. Richard has all the family talent and I am extreamly proud to call him my son.The poem was written for two wonderful friends for whom I could never express all my feelings for.I am truly blessed with great friends and a phenomenal family. Thanks to all of you, Mama Bear.

Hello and welcome to the site. There are many friendly and helpful people here, and I know you will enjoy your time. Just a couple of suggestions to improve this piece: In the last line of your first verse, try replacing "to talk to" with "for conversation". It is improper grammar to end any sentence with a preposition. Also, what is "yhth" in the last line of your second verse? Do you mean either "my" or "the"? Other than that, this is a pleasant read.
