Reflections On Friendship

Do they blame another for their aging,
           painful life? No!
           This is only what the untransformed 
           aging do, instead of making things right.


           Hurting close friends like a shive to
           another poets’ beating heart?
           Complainers and whiners as each day
           starts?

         
           No, no they are not at like this!
           Some do thank God, as the sun rises with 
           a prayer kiss!
           They bury hurt and aggravation.
           Striving to be a part of a stronger nation!

“Some do thank God, as the sun rises with a prayer kiss”…… that’s such a lovely line Pangie, if everyone did the world would be happier place where no one lost their dignity or grace…

"No, no they are not at like this! Some do thank God, as the sun rises with a prayer kiss!" Beautiful! Very well said. As for myself, I will also accept some slings and arrows without a retaliatory word -- like yourself, expressed in this fine work, my love is large enough for this.
