I would not trade my good friends for anything in the world.

Me neither, Caren. Most of my family are gone, but I have many friends who help sustain me.

So true. Friends are hard, and when you find them...letting them go is even harder. Well written as always. You are a wonderful poet. Ann

There are times when a friend will support us more than a family member. Good thoughts, Milt.

That is so true, Jenna. I treasure my best friends, although they are very few.

As I told Karen, Tom, this poem was jotted down while I was waiting to see a doctor. A lady in a wheelchair was being helped by a friend who was so caring. It was beautiful.

Thank you, Karen. I was watching a friend wheel a lady in a wheelchair at the doctor's office when I wrote this.
