Without Friends

I was sitting here thinking what this world 
would be without friends. I was having some 
problems that I thought, I couldn't bare.

I felt all alone and lonely. I thought nobody
cared. I like to put my thoughts in writing
and express my feelings too. I said - LORD
I'm writing a poem for you. Maybe if you read 
it, I'll get some help from you.

I send it i n and went to work. GOD must have
read it. He answered faster than I thought.
When I came home that night, my emails were
pouring out.

They were from all my friends and some I didn't
know. They were all offering their help and that
just touched my heart.

I couldn't stop crying as I was reading them.
I could only thank GOD for sending you to me.
I'm asking Him now to bless each and everyone 
of you.

Yes - what would this world be without friends?
Nobody would care what anyone did, thought or
felt. You are a special kind of breed that can't be
bought or found just anywhere...

Good friends are hard to find.

Kirby Magee-Dittberner February 18, 2012 at 11:18 PM I agree, good friends are difficult to find, and such a pure and meaningful subject for a poem. In the words of Twilight Sparkle and the My Little Pony gang, "Friendship is magic." Nice poem =)
