Jack Ellison Poet Free verse

Wanted One True Friend

WANTED

A friend loyal and true
One that will always be there
Not a fair weather “sometimes” friend
But a friend that truly cares

ONE

That sticks by you 
As you travel a difficult road
To rejoice with you in happy times
Or help with your heavy load

TRUE

Friends are hard to find
The kind that never waiver
Through the good times and the bad
Those friendships we all savour

FRIEND

A loyal true companion
To walk with you side by side
Who doesn't ask for a reason why
Just goes along for the ride

L Milton Hankins March 14, 2022 at 8:44 AM Hmmm...Jack, I can count on my ten fingers the true friends I've had in my lifetime and now many of them have passed on to the great beyond. I still have one or two left. I'm afraid age tends to diminish the number of friends one has...natural attrition. Good poem, my friend. L Milton Hankins March 14, 2022 at 11:54 AM I hope so. As do I you. Jack Ellison March 14, 2022 at 9:35 AM Thank you my friend... I include you in my list of course! Cheers!
