Notes About The Poem

Wonderful Ones

What wonderful gifts I have, in the form of my close friends

Ones who will never allow me to break when I start to bend

Nothing I say or do is so terrible that it would tear us apart

Dearest of all are the friendships that live deep in my heart

Everlasting is the strong bond of the love we share together

Real friends always support me and not just in fair weather

Forgiving of my many flaws, true buddies will dry my tears

Under devoted protection, confidants drive away my fears

Life is full of laughter because of friends I've had for years

I recently lost a friend and sometimes such can affect one ever so deeply. We should cherish the ones we have all the more while they are with us. Your beautiful acrostic highlights in excellent form and inspiration that message. A7

Sorry for the loss of your friend, Robert. Sometimes we take our friends for granted, but still, they remain loyal. THOSE are the ones who fit the label...'friend.' Thank you for such kind comments. ;)
