Great Friends
We only succumb to the hidden woes
The trials and pains that no one knows
We think that none will truly care
So, these things we do not share
Is pride the reason we remain mute?
As troubles find soil and thus take root
If our tribulations remain unspoken
Then our problems remain unbroken
I know you want that inner strength
But when troubled for time at length
It then becomes even harder to
See the people that are there for you
There to laugh and share good times
But I read your face between the lines
I see the weight that bears on you
And wonder what I can hopeful do
To me, a friend you have always been
And I, one to you, if you let me in
In the times when there is great need
A great friend, to you, I will be indeed
It is such an added joy to my life that, in addition to being a beloved and loving brother, you are also exactly the friend you describe here. However, just a word to the wise….. people will become more vulnerable and open with us when they see us struggling as well. When someone appears to “always have their shit together”, people who don’t will tend to feel like that person couldn’t begin to comprehend or understand.
That may be a difficult concept for me, but I am trying. Love you to no end, sis!
and that is absolutely a priceless thing – to know and love our friends so well, and to have the same from them
Thank you, Beth! I hope you are always surrounded by great friends!

wonderful poem. if only people knew how much others cared about them, it would make a world of difference…
And our world could use a little different right now. Thanks for all the support, Jim!
yes it could…
The beauty of friendship is it requires us to be there for others while not being too prideful to accept their help when we need it.
A great definition of friendship, Pete! Thanks for all your support!
One of the most valuable things anyone can have in this life is a good friend. Good people, good friends are the blessings that make life wonderful. I am proud to call you my friend, Brad. Great poem, great writing! All the best!
