My Best Friend

My Best Friend Someone here on earth to me was dear Until into heaven she did disappear After all the good experiences she had Liked playing game that was called glad (Pollyanna and the Glad Game) If only like her one day I could be I then too would have the ability To understand all of those around At her end would be heaven bound Was warm to me and wouldn't harm a flea What she saw in things was only beauty Beside me will not ever exist again Was my mom who best friend had been. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran In response to Andrea Dietrich's Poem, "The Fighter." after I printed it up and re-read it. Her poem must have been about someone who had been significant in Andrea's life.

Glad to see my poem inspired this one, Jim!! The Fighter is a made up person, but of course, it can be any number of people in this world!
