Unconditional Love


Are you always there for your friends
Can they depend on you
Or don't you care about others
When trouble and strife happens
Do you walk away, or stay
Life can get tough, we need each other
We need that hug
Be that kind of friend, who really cares
Unconditional love is the answer
World is crazy, gripped by fear
Friends need friends to stay near
We all need love, so share a smile today

I love this poem's imperative message of unconditional love, Dorothy. Of course one must be a friend to have a friend. It's so true that we need friends in times like these. I hope your day is nice.🌸😊

One is most blessed to have one true friend lifelong. Acquaintances can be plenty without a true friend among them. People need people, it is true. I wish all lonely ones would gather, have wished that for a long time. I make it sound easy because it should be. I enjoyed your emotive words of truth and hope many carefully consider all you presented. This is similar to my "SOMEONE TO HOLD" poem which you'd resonate with. Be golden

A very thoughtful and deep message that encourages us to take an honest look at ourselves and ask, "What kind of friend am I? What kind of friend to I want to be? And what kind of friends do I want to have?" ... However we personally treat the friendship will factor in to its success 🙂😉 a great poem helps us to stop and think xx 🪷🪻🌷🏵🌻🌺

Wouldn't the world be s better place if everyone loved and respected each other. We can only hope that one day it will come true. A friendly gesture or a smile costs nothing but can make someone's day. Tom🌹😀
