Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

My invisible friend

I have a sweet friend,
I cannot see
Who has become so dear to me,
We have similar points of view
Share a sense of humour, too,
I admire her for her wit and charm,
honest opinions
Without causing harm
To those who disagree

She is compassionate and wise,
Kindness flows from her clear eyes.
She likes to call a spade a spade,
That is why our friendship stayed
And will until,
Time stands still.

Time is catching up with me,
I am much older than she.
If I seem to be going off the track
It is just a matter of fact
Age is just a number,
Not an issue,

My friend and I
Have never met
She is invisible to me
It would be lovely to meet
And chat endlessly over a cup of tea
Sadly, this cannot happen
As we live miles apart
I do not need to see Deb M's face
As I can see it in her Heart.

Keep on writing your excellent poetry, Deb. X

Quoth Theraven May 6, 2025 at 9:39 PM Shirley, This poem has taken form and comes in so clear to me. Not so hard to see why you would admire this friend. Nothing quite like a poet's poet, dear to the end. Please tell Deb I said hi. -Richard Shirley Hawkins May 8, 2025 at 9:48 PM Thank you, Richard, for your kind comments. I feel I know Deb, even though we will never meet. When she wrote her first few poems, she thought she could never write like others on PS. She was already doing that, and I believe she has gone from strength to strength. I will pass on your message to her, Richard. I am sure she will be pleased to hear from you, as I was. Take care, Shirley
