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 ©Jack Ellison 2012

My Sweet Kenny...You are such a friend to me! :) Thanks for asking about the situation here in Lebanon...NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE! Yes, there was a bomb blast...far away from where I live, but lives were lost. It's so sad, Kenny. Cairo is burning as did Rome, and no one will stop it. I'm very sad....Keep this part of the world in your prayers. LOVE YA for remembering me! HUGS!

Oh dear sweet Eileen, at one time all that stuff would seem so far away from us but with today's technology we can no longer say that. Stay safe, my dear sweet friend... big warm hugs! Jack xoxox

This poem is so beautiful. In my opinion, one is blessed if he/she has just one true friend. I am not sure whether I have found a loyal true companion.

Jack, Oh I love this wonderful verse and all it request of a true friend...If only it could be forever...too often, death comes knocking taking away those truest of friendships. Again, a beautiful verse. Cynthia

I live in an adult life style community and the average age of folks in here is probably about 65. Have lost many true friends over the last few years. Thanks for your kind words, Cynthia! Love and big hugs, Jack

Had a true friend from the beginning of grade school to the end... twelve years! We were inseparable until he and his family moved across the country! We were both devastated! He is still in my thoughts! Thanks Russell!
