Poetry
Lord it’s funny’
How pain can be so lonely
It’s funny to face a sad reality
‘My friends are fewer than I think’
During the good times
We all laughed and had fun
But when the sad moments,
Which defines real life
Came knocking
I was left pondering
The moment of truth
It’s funny
To realize that success
Breeds various associations we call friendship
It’s also funny
To realize that failure
Test and defines these associations
It’s funny
When I remember how hard I tried
To be a good friend…
Maybe I failed but I tried….
I laughed when they smiled
I mourned and wept when they sorrowed
But now my pain is overwhelming
I’m all alone …
Except for…
The folks I didn’t count as my true friends
They became the angels you used to encourage me
The one I cared less about
Became the sunshine you used to light up my day
The full moon that shines through my night
The stars adding a little bit of sparkle to my dark sky
They are my guardian angels
My true friends
The guys who held up my hands in battle
They had my back all along
They’ve made me stronger
Now I love solely from my heart
I give and expect nothing in return
No price I can pay
For the gift of friendship
Lord I thank you for my friends
I pray for them…
I’ll always remember them in my prayers
Because as they wiped the tears away from my face
You showed me that when I walk
Through life’s dark alleys
I’ll never walk alone.

Beautiful, Kelihi! Friends are a joy and a delight. A true friend is a pearl of great price. Blessings, Sharon
You are right, you will never walk alone....because GOD will be there right beside you, every step of the way. He has his eye on the "Sparrow". :)
