Friendship

You said age's only a number, beauty's skin deep Wise words to live by, now if I could only sleep Humor never can be taken away, have no regrets Live like there's no tomorrow, an elephant never forgets Since the day we met, things have been so right Thankful for our meeting, making spirits bright No more feeling lonely, no more feeling stressed Friendships have started, I am feeling blessed Not a day has passed without a smile on my face Feeling happy has now become commonplace Brought together by chance or was it by fate Any way you put it, my friend, you are truly great

This is a compelling, touching tribute to the value--and power--of authentic friendship. I love the message, rhyme scheme, and flow. Excellent, Tim, through and through.

Real friendship always lasts, but internet friendships is a whole new ball of wax, and I have failed in this area. I seem to lose friends and acquaintances, anger towards me, like I did something wrong, accusations, geeese, I give up on it--is too stressful. Buddies in real person appear to know one better. On the flip side, I enjoy reading and writing poetry, and yours is no different. Nice rhymed poem on a plausible subject. Thomas

Thanks Thomas....It is easier to show anger behind the safety of a computer than it is in person..I think people don't think about others feelings before saying/writing something.
