Friendships Value

by Michaelw1two

Inspired by the word works of Fox Poole


 A close friend is silver,
 a true friend holds heart’s gold;
 only such friends stay with you,
 everyone else turns cold;
 memories carry us forward,
 filling lives with joy;
 building bridges between hearts,
 that some may seek to destroy;
 to that one good friend,
 who caused me to be blessed;
 your compassion, always available,
 for moments when I needed rest;
 your honest love and kindness,
 life’s ability to ease and console;
 making me seem better,
 uplifting my troubled soul;
 your encounters bring me profits,
 my cheerfulness chimes real and sincere;
 causing my moods to shimmer directly,
 this is friendship I hold so dear;
 this earth is limited and finite,
 likewise this void of cyberspace;
 but know daily, that I lift you up,
 to impart into you, god’s grace;
 heaven’s day then, is that paradise,
 as down here comes to an end;
 our time, the greatest of treasures,
 made in you, my soul's fate found friend.

Thank you for these very personal comments... Friendship is a value which seems to have disappeared in our society... Yes, there are close acquaintances... but true, blue to the core friendships are rare indeed... and to have a soul found friend remains the true quest for US all... all of the best from this life, to you, and all of your relations... Michael.
