I Am Blessed

Another year speeds by
The calendar is unforgiving
Time marches on
As I try to go on living

It won’t be easy 
But I have friends
I can count on 

So many friends,
Unknown until now
True friends come through
When I need them most

They say that to have a friend
You must first be a friend
I wonder if I qualify?

This is indeed a fantastic place to meet people who understand. The mainstream population doesn't seem to "get it." Poetry Soup and its participants are a refreshing surprise!

So nice of you to say, John. That means a lot. As I read your comments I'm starting to think of you as a friend as well. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! Ellen
