Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Thank You For Being My Friend

There for me in my hour of need
      surprising me with a small gift

How blessed am I …
     your friendship is one I cherish

Always having time to listen
      when we share a pot of tea

Now I bring shopping  for you
      to show my appreciation

Kindness and thoughtfulness
       are so evident when we talk

So finally I can pay tribute
      to my wonderful friend Chris

A tribute to my wonderful friend Chris Faragher who has been a tower of strength for me especially when my husband had his cancer surgery and I had no support from my parents and sister. Her friendship and support mean the world to me

Paul Callus July 3, 2020 at 11:26 AM Yours is a very meaningful double acrostic, Jan. One needs not do anything extremely big to prove his/her friendship; being there at the right time for one another is what matters most in times of need. Having someone who listens, to share with is already a show of true friendship. ~ Congratulations on placing first. Hugs // paul

Panagiota Romios June 22, 2020 at 3:08 PM He Jan, Ditto on all the comments below. A friend that is THEFE, no matter what is a true friend. A real blessing when your family turns their back on you. I can relate to that one. So hurtful especially you facing the specter of cancer with your beloved husband. Thank you for sharing this! A great dedication/ tribute to Chris!))
