My Friend

My Friend by Weston Gregory

I'm glad you are my friend
And you are interesting 
There’re no dull moments
And we can share what each 
Other thinking, 
Though its been tested of a fact
But we're invested in what we've got  
We fought tooth and nail to remain 
At that and nothing going to change
That as friend first we attached.
I'm better for deciding not to stay alone 
You heal my broken heart 
With you is my home
Amongst its value this love has help
Me to grow
And deal with the issues as they come
And they go
Though mistakes we are prone to make 
And bitter words are some times said 
We forgive. We forgive. We forgive
We forgive. We forgive. We forgive
We forgive
And like water under the bridge 
Those complex emotion simple love finally singe
Leading the way a stronger friend still

We all err as no one is perfect. But forgiving is divine. However close, sometimes a friend's words or actions may hurt. But if forgiven the friendship will remain in tact ! A beautiful poem on real friendship, dear Weston.

A truly "true" friendship you describe here Weston. It takes work and is so well worth it to find a relationship like the one you describe. A real treasure.

In these times, a good friend is worth their weight in gold. I think this poem illustrates that with simplicity, its truth and its vulnerability. Nice work Weston. MC
