You Were There......

when I needed to talk

you lent me your ear



when I cried

you offered a shoulder



when I had gone astray

you showed me the light



when I could not walk

you carried me



when I was at my worst

you revealed my best



when I lost my soul

you returned the special gift



when I was alone

you gifted me with friendship



through my life

you gave me the love of a true friend



All in all, a web was formed

A simple net to catch hearts



With in each other’s lives

A friend’s love will hold true in the end

HI
Thanks for commenting on my work. I read some of your pieces, and liked them greatly. You are a talented poet. That is cool that you want to maybe be a high school english teacher.

I can relate to this poem. It is great to have a person like that. Thanks for sharing it with us. Keep rolling down that great highway of poetry.

Nice write. Your words are simple, but give inspiration. I think "You Were There" would be great as a song. Cinquo

I like this poem very much - nothing can ever compare to the gift of having true friends.
