For you friend

Thank you for being my friendFor all you taught to meNot a mentor but a museFor my many lines of poetry I bear no grudge or maliceFor things that couldn’t beI understand your loveFor those special three You gave me dreams a little whileHelped me spread my wingsYou taught me to be proud of meAnd lots of other things If ever I hear the kestrelWith its call so long and shrillI will think of you my dearWith kindness and goodwill

Hello Lonnie

Not my usual style of writing but somehow it needed this type of simplicity to be pure about the message, you comments help me feel I have achieved that Thanks Seabhac

As usual Jayne-Chloe

You read past the words, your clever mind ties poems and people together. This is an exceptional skill you have and with all the people you comment on here and I feel honoured that you do this for me and my writing. The writing of this has been very cathartic and brought me to a different place than where I was before. Thanks for taking the time Seabhac

Hello Judy

There are friends who flow through your life and make a small impact on your present and your future, there are friends we meet in life and though we may never see them again their input in our lives effects how we view our future and how we move towards that future in a better present. This poem is about one such friend. Gentle regards Seabhac

well said my friend;

what is it to have an edge- but to see ourselves better through another- to grow, even though love visits but a moment, but a night; Oh! how a night can last forever!
