My Friend Lynette...

My friend Lynette....
     As we face tomorrow, let us live each day like it's our last.
     Along the way you may experience sorrow, but that too will pass!
My friend Lynette...
     Heartache is like pulling a tooth, it can make you cry.
     But love is the ultimate truth and all else is a lie!
My friend Lynette...
     Your burdens I will bare, and comfort you in my arms.
     I'll protect you I swear, and shelter you from all harm.
My friend Lynette...
     My advice I freely give, for I've been-there-done-that.
     Though I've faced death, I live!  And past struggles have trained me for combat!
My friend Lynette...
     If you need someone to talk too, you can always count on me.
     My word is true and no matter what you say or do, I'm here for eternity!
My friend Lynette...
     Time reveals all, and I'll be by your side till the end.
     And although we stumble and fall, your honor I'll always defend!
My friend Lynette...
     Let me take away your fears and that way you'll never be afraid.
     If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade!
My Friend Lynette...
     Just always remember this, hearts don't break, they just bend.
     I'll seal this with a kiss, always and forever, your friend!

*Wrote for my fellow poet and friend Lynette c. (you wanted advice;))
