Like the Softest Luxurious Cashmere Shawl

The gift of friendship A most precious gift of all True friends are always there for you Come running when you call Whatever the time Be it day Be it night Whatever the wherewithal You may not see them for a while But when you talk upon the phone It feels like only yesterday As if no time has passed at all A friend you trust with everything They share your highs and lows Such special souls sweet angels on earth Priceless gems their friendship’s worth In life we meet just one or two They feel the same ‘bout me and you Our love and care goes back and forth Our hearts and souls a magic force Friendship has no boundaries at all They sense your pain before you call Wrapping your soul with love and warmth Like the softest luxurious cashmere shawl Written 9th August 2020 Contest Strand Completely New (20) Sponsor Brian Strand FIRST PLACE

This is such a sweetly woven poetic piece on the actually boundless joys enjoyed by true-loving pals.It subtly shames the soiling dragon of featherweight, fair-weather friends and friendships...boldly favoring the less-trodden route instead - holding stoically onto the solid truth that honest fraternal ties yet untwisted exist and thrive, their wholly unsullied chords of mutual warmths unassailable still. Kudos, Ann!
