Slip Away Friends

Where have they gone, they who, said they loved you 
          like their own Mother?
          Jealousy dissolved that bond,  like green fatal poison,
          none other.

         They took your heart from you, and stabbed you deep.
         You must forgive each, because you only belong to God's 
         divine keep!

          Do not, on mortal man, give all your soul.   
          The thief will sneak in, disguised as the sweetest 
          jelly roll.

          We outlived them.well and so terribly strong!
          Whilst they muck about, looking for parental
          aporoval from an uncaring thriong.

I have had many friends "slip away" and for many reasons. usually they just fade away like time itself. but it is awful and strange when it happens but for the culture which we life in poisoning their minds. The jelly roll line was cool!

Andrea...I am glad we both liked the jelly roll line, You cannot control the poison propuganda foaming amonstst all nations! I know you care about long life and truth...most people don’t want to listen to you or me, they are part of Joe And his Killing Propoganda Machine, doing the Poison Humanity Polka. Band by Frabjous Fauci and his Fritcake Sciene Virology Merrymakers. LOL. Pangie Pangie

Panagiota, Like your poems when they're very, very scintillating, though sometimes, perhaps, a little scary. Those 'Slip Away Friends' where do they all go? 'The thief will sneak in, disguised as the sweetest jelly roll.' And what a sweet tooth you have. -Richard

God and you are a majority. This is very well said, and a sad truth about many relationships we form in the world. Ultimately, we should only care about our standing with one relationship, God and His family. I recall something about St. Francis, upon his dying asking to be stripped of his clothing, and left on the side of a hill to depart the world as he had entered. Blessings my friend.

The world is a insane asylum right noe Trusting God is the best.your relationship with Gid precedes all, I can tell, you were raised where God is numero Uno. The world? Yikes. Pangie
