If You Hurt I Hurt Too

To feel when a friend feels pain Has you feeling such pain too Friendship with nothing to gain You hurt what he's gone through To see a friend with a smile You smile too that same day A friendship you'd walk a mile You'd travel more than halfway To hear a friend full of sorrow Brings sorrow to you inside A friendship you didn't borrow There for them you'd never hide To see a friend shed a tear Has tears fall down your face Friendship will last many years And ones you cannot replace But to hear a friend laugh out loud Has you falling down in laughter Friendship which you can be proud In your life happily forever and after You see this friend for what they are You accept their highs and lows In night skies they are your stars Because they are the friend you chose
This is an older poem but it was written for a dear friend who was in pain and hurting! I felt I needed to repost it because it seems they still hurt and I hurt too from Their pain!;)

Brenda, So nice a friend to write, who gets the meaning of friendship. “A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” Walter Winchell

Empathy is a cherished quality in a friend or a mate. this quality is so rare, I'm impressed that you not only possess it but wrote about it. Anyone would love to have a friend like you!

Absolutely beautiful my friend. Friendship is a very special gift that should be cherished and protected, but it seems you already know that. This poem could definitely help lessen someone's pain and sorrow. Wonderfully written.

Real friends hurt when their friends are hurting, and sometimes poets hurt when anyone is hurting.
