My Friend
I have never laughed like that
When making love,
I guess I never knew you could
Or I never knew how,
But it felt so good.
It feels so fine
Just to hold your hand,
To relax with you
And know you understand.
As a wounded bird you see me
Fragile and broken;
A beautiful analogy,
Cupped gently in your perfect hands
Until you set me free.
Our destiny not forever
But left to the powers that be;
You are there to help me find my wings,
You seem so sure
Of what my future now brings.
So softly spoken,
Gentle and true,
You have become such a friend
In the way you think things through.
You are considerate,
Compassionate and kind;
My many faults
You don't seem to mind.
I do thank God for the day we met
And I hold you in my prayers,
Our friendship is a lasting one
With no need for graces or airs.
Thank you my friend
For the person you are,
In your own way
A bright shining star.
Thank you for teaching me
That I can truly soar,
Without your strength
My attempt may have been flawed.
Our times together to me
Mean so very much,
Etched deep in my memory
I just know
We will never really lose touch.
You are truly a gifted poet! A wonderful poem.
