When fallacious friends fail and break you in two let me be the one- to help you feel worthy and whole And when slithering serpents slander your name let me be the one- to defend it and stand by your side When your lioness libido lets loose let me be the one- to send you to the moon and beyond (again and again) And when tender tears of joy trickle softly let me be the one- to share in those moments of bliss When worrisome woes of this world drag you down let me be the one- to offer you hope and a dream And when dismal depression ends in collapse let me be the one- to rise up and set you on high Yes, my love, let me be the one to be your always and everything- forever *simple Sunday scribble

This is a very good poem. It reminds me of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" by Paul Simon. Friendship is often undervalued and overlooked.

It feels a bit awkward to me to call it a poem, but I do think it has a worthy message. Thanks Steven

It's beautiful Tom, the sentiments, the words, the feeling of lift brought on by each "let me be the one," and the slight tumble of the pause that follows. I like how in each verse you ask for permission to help, but with the italics at the end, it's damn clear that's what you're going to do. (You knight in shining armor, You.)

Warmth emanates from your soulful words, Tom. You've brought nothing but love, joy and hope, and I do believe you are the one who'll bring us together, I should say already in process...Love the "let me be the one" leading the stanza into promises so sincere. Que sympatico eres! Simply scribble every Sunday!
