Andrea Dietrich Poet Ballad

Get a Good Friend

Strong bonds don't end.
Get a good friend.

Do this and you’ll not be contrite.
Good friends are as precious as gold,
and having them never grows old.
Make a friendship that’s good and tight.

Good friends are as precious as gold.
They’ll get over it when you fight.
You don’t have to be too polite,
and having them never gets old.

Get a good friend.
Good friends are as precious as gold.
They are those who will treat you right,
and having them never grows old.
Strong bonds don't end.

Get a good friend.
Strong bonds don't end!

Caren Krutsinger January 9, 2022 at 11:42 PM This is the best advice I have read in a long time.

Valsa George January 7, 2022 at 8:16 PM Hi Andrea, I thought of taking part in this contest. But when I read the rules, I found it not easy, rather quite tough. But you have written a beautiful poem with ease fulfilling all stipulations!

Kim Rodrigues January 5, 2022 at 3:30 PM Truth! I read a book called “Girlfriends,” by Carmen Renee Berry and Tamara Traeder, many years ago. Great book on the varying relationships. Not all friends are close ones. I am so glad for my BFF! I also enjoy many other friendships and sisterhood too…blessed…oh! oh! And not to mention you, sweet Andrea! xx

John Watt January 4, 2022 at 11:04 AM Very lovely meditation on the value of a good friend. As precious as gold, so true. The shared histories, the common interests, the memories of kindnesses extended, the stories you can relive, and the ongoing interest in one another's changing lives, as well as the support when going through hard times. Beautifully stated.

Charles Messina January 4, 2022 at 10:35 AM Some of my first friends I had are still my friends today...over 55 years. Now that's golden! Nicely done! Good luck in the contest, Andrea. Happy New Year! Hugs Charlie

Connie Marcum Wong January 4, 2022 at 2:17 AM Poet friends are the best Andrea. We read between the lines and are ultra sensitive to the feelings and passion of our peers. Excellent work Andrea! Best of luck in this contest. New year blessings xxoo

Victor Buhagiar January 4, 2022 at 1:11 AM Strange that after so many years I can rely only occasionally on my relatives. Can't say I have a good friend. But now I'm used to living alone. I am of course excluding virtual friends of which I have a few. Hugs.
