A Good Friend

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 ;-)

You d be surprised Richard what some people will do, as for goy on a whole I would nt say they would but you never know who might take a peek and not be a member, leave and you would never know.
2 Sep, 2010

Autumn is fast approaching here..though I do love to see the colours of the changing season reflected in the falling autumn leaves...there really is nothing quite like it Richard. :~))
8 Sep, 2010
That conjures up a very picturesque scene Flori,,,I can see you have a very artistic vision my friend ;-))
8 Sep, 2010
We've had a wet windy and cold winter. The floods are further south in Victoria, so that's well away from us.
I'm requesting lovely autumn colour pictures from you lot, as the arrive :o)))))) LOL
