A True Friend

 A true friend is…….Someone who asks for nothing in returnOne who is there with a shoulder to cry onWith the biggest heart and all the timeIn the world with the longest hug One who puts others firstOne who too has their own worriesBut still has time for others…. But I have been so selfishSo wrapped up with my own problemsNot to see theirs………. I wish there was somethingI could do, anything at allI would do for youYou only have toAsk this of me

Think this is a nice piece

Think this is a nice piece of writing..this is the one thing I love the most of writing is that it allows me to express what I long so deeply to say but my voice will not speak.. I always believe that a ~true friend~ not only runs in the sun with you but shields you in darkness of night..

Sweet Spirit - Welcome to the Neopoet family I can tell you that I can count my friends on one hand - and only one true friend. I know that they would probably say the same about me. Because for them of course - I am there no matter what. I do not need a reason. No questions asked. Just am. This poem was written thinking of my friend. Oh what do you say ! This was what followed. Just enough words. Electric Blue

My best friend passed on

My best friend passed on earlier this year I will always miss her .... I used to say to her and her me 'let me be your light in the dark when all other lights go out' ... we went to a movie once and it became our personal mantra ... When things got tough a text or a call and we'd end our call with those words they are sappy and mushy but she was my other half ... the one that could tell just by looking at me what sort of day I was having ... Maggie this poem is beautiful thoughts for a friend (hug) ... Much love Jayne x x

Jayne I can say with my friend I tell them straight and true They know what my fragile heart feels They know that my love is real but oh so blue My heart has been broken a few times I do not know if it can ever mend but it is worth trying to pick up the pieces of my broken heart that was left on the floor Maybe it can be put back together again It would not take long for my heart to melt as it did before and pick my heart up off of the floor I am sorry about your loss my dear friend but they will always be with you they will let you know they are near and you will know and it will make you smile Electric blue

Nicely put Maggie

You are reaching out to a certain friend I feel here apologising where I feel sure you have no need as I think you are a good friend to have, and do think of others. Friends are the best to have, they ask nothing of one, as you say and love you inspite of your faults, and we all have those! Yours Ann of Norway

A poignant piece delivered well. It brought a much-needed smile to my face. =) ~Jess K. ----------------------- "Sundown you better take care if I find you've been creepin' 'round my back stairs. Sometimes I think it's a sin when I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losing again" - Gordon Lightfoot
