Friendship

Friendship  ( Acrostic )

F...Friendship should be forever.
R...Rain, or shine - they should be there.
I...Ignore not a good friend.
E...Expect always NOTHING.
N...Never lie to a good friend.
D...Do for them what you want others to do for you.
S...Safeguard your friendship well.
H...Help always if you can.
I...Imagine life without friends.
P...Peace between friends is golden.

Friendship

To have friends is beautiful. Friendship is 
very special. Without friends - we would
be very lonely. Finding a good friend is,
like finding a treasure. If you don't protect
it - you will lose it...

Lucy lovely read, as Peter said we do not really have anyone that we could call our friends, we find family is enough, but we do consider all you people on this site our friends especially the ones we write to, we have had so many friends who have turned on us so sometimes they are not worth it, lovely write my dear, take care............Vera...........

This is a beautiful acrostic, and you give a lovely picture as to how friends should be. True friendship is not always easy to come by, but once it's there it must be treasured and nurtured. Hope you are keeping well, Lucilla. God bless. // paul

Poetry Soup is a great place to make new friends. I was lucky enough to find some here and I really do treasure that relationship. I would never have met such kind people if it had not been for Poetry Soup.... I enjoyed reading your poem, Lucilla. These lovely words are so heartfelt and wise. Well done, my friend!

Dear Lucilla, Your poem is wonderful. Some of us live alone and have no family Friendships are very important to us. Amen to what you said at the end: "Finding a good friend is like finding a treasure. If you don't protect it - you will lose it..." I wish everyone realized this. I'm going to print this poem out so I will never forget. A new fave for me. God bless you! Love, Carolyn

Thanks so much Lucilla I am having so much support I am truly blessed. I believe it is more than co-incidence that my friend guided me to soup when I started writing after my husband had cancer - it was simply meant to be and not just down to fate:-) hugs as ever Jan xx

Jan; I'm so sorry to hear that this is true. I will keep them in my prayers and you too. About friends - there are a lot of special people here in Poetry Soup. If you need to talk just Soup Mail. Hugs back to you...
