A Good Friend – a poem

As a petal in the breeze you drift through life,
Where warming thermals protect you from strife.
But wait, there are also downdraughts and chills,
That batter your journey through life’s green hills.

Take heed my sister, when times are glad,
Remember your friends and the good times you had.
For when grief and sorrow, will get in your way,
They love you forever, and cheer your day.

Beautiful poem and would cheer any one up Richard that feels down, hope you don't mind me saying but at the end of your poems you should place copy write as for no one else to steal them and say they are theirs, not nice to have to say this but there are people who do it.

2 Sep, 2010

 

Thank you Sixpence that is so kind of you to say. Didn't think about copyright as I thought no one would want to 'steal' it ....lol ;-)
