My True Friend

You are my friend You laugh with me, you cry with me You tell me things because I have earned your trust I tell you my sins without a fear You expect my rejection when it is your turn But none from me will you receive As sin is sin, whether more or less I tell you truths you don’t wish to hear You scold me when I misbehave You tell me when I’m a “Drama Queen” You put me up on a pedestal We lift each other when ever one falls We'll be there when the dark clouds appear This is how it should be and is a promise we share Sometimes we argue, at times we fight Always admit when 'er we’re wrong Never let pride nor grudge live in this space Living easy, in a friendship, uncluttered, with “I am sorry” and “I love you” Just little words that mend big rifts Let’s me know that you are “My Friend”

Audrey, I hope you will consider submitting a poem for my lawyer limericks contest. I'd like to judge the contest before I get my lab results next week and need two more entries. I know you can do it if you have the time. Thanks, dear. Love, Carolyn PS -- Soup Admin sent me a note they are looking into the matter we discussed via regular email. I'm hopeful appropriate action will be taken. Love, Carolyn

When you are lucky enough to have someone who will stand by you and make amends when differences occur, you do have a true friend, Audrey. This is a lovely portrait of a great friendship and I consider you to be a friend, dear. Love, Carolyn

Audrey, lovely I love it! It is nice to feel the true feelings and emotions of friendship. I think everyone should ask every now and than about true friendship. Sometimes people want more than friend ship. When not giving to the person, the other starts acting repulsive. Audrey, I have been in situations where I am a friend, but the other wants more. Than they start acting all mad and everything. Lost many friendships that way, a very inspiring poem. Enjoyed,..p.d.
