The Best Friend

A friend like you is hard to find,
one that touches you deep inside. 
You've given me strength to carry on, 
you've offered your hand to hold on. 
When times are tough, I know you're there
to offer support and show you care. 
If not for you, I would have drowned, 
but you help keep me on solid ground. 
You show that love in so many ways
It helps me get through my darkest of days.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

A heart-felt tribute to a good friend, or a spirit guide. Nice job, Sasha. I call this a Couplet. If you look up type of poems, and check out couplet under C you might agree.
