Forever It Shall Be So

a friendship poem

graphic courtesy of tohshi.blog

i wait always on the edge of tomorrow to assure you

we can do anything we put our minds to

oh yes forever it shall be so

i will wind macramed circles of hope ‘round you

when optimism has escaped your grasp

i will dance your dance to the tune of your song

even when you are sure the melody is tainted

i will bounce echoes of your laughter 

off the walls of nostalgia

i will bring you stars 

even when the sky is cloudy and the moon is tired

i will sweeten your coffee 

with the whipped cream of real friendship

and if the cheek of our collective night is kissed by tears

i will ensure they are happy ones

oh yes forever it shall be so

dear Lydia... happy tears brush my cheek, as
friendship sails the seven seas in search of
peace and serenity... Lovely to have friends who
calm the sea and share tea under an azure sky of
possibility. May falling stars serenade your
Nightingale nights of love and vulnerability.
Your poetry is a balm of true friendship.
truly, Pat

This is such a strong and loving bond. So rare to find in a lover or a friend.
Beautifully written Lydi. A poetically offered promise of forever.

"I will wind macramed circles of hope 'round you"' i like the symbol of hope it represents. A promise kept. Once the bracelet is worn and falls off, the wish will come true...or so I've been told. Beautifully written Lydia and also very touching. Absolutely loved it. I'd be lost without my best friends.

Friends are everything to me. Thank you for your review, Roma. Lydi**

What a lovely promise of a poem this is! And how wonderfully have you written it Lydia! Companionship and support cannot be inseparable if a relationship is to endure. Your poem captures a sense of togetherness and kinship. Enjoyed reading a very positive poem.

May your writing reach greater heights.
Best, Mallika.

Ohh after reading your charming poem, I feel I really need a friend like you so, oh yes forever it shall be so. Will you be?

You're the most precious writer for me amongst, all of my friends. Thanks Lydi**

Thank you my dearest friend :) You know I find wisdom, peace & shadow of god in your words.

Lydi, this is a wonderful poem of love and friendship... such an inspirational way to express what a true friend is and does, always looking for ways to be there and help no matter what the difficulty maybe... a tired moon, laughs of nostalgia, and in "forever it shall be so" promises... "nice" doesn't really express the wonderment found in this poem Lydi... it could only be written by a true heart and a true friend... ;0)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are the type of person that makes this poem true...

a forever friend who will be there no matter what---always with that positive word, or push...or poem like this to reassure.

will you be my friend!!!!!:} this is so endearing ..and if one has made one really good friend in a whole lifetime it is a blessed life indeed .. the perspective of seeking to be a "real" friend and not get one is an attitude for happiness ..well done Lydia!! thanks for sharing!
