To Jeff

MY GOOD FRIEND, JEFF,

COMES TO MY HOUSE AND SUDDENLY,

YOU WILL FIND THAT HE HAS LEFT.

 

THAT'S JUST JEFF'S WAY,

A MAN ON THE MOVE,

WITH A LOT GOING ON EVERYDAY.

 

HE ALWAYS DOES SO MUCH,

REPAIRS THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE,

HE HAS THAT SPECIAL TOUCH.

 

HE CONSTANTLY SURPRISES ME,

WITH A YARD THAT LOOKS PRISTINE

OR THE MESSY BEDROOM, NOW CLEAN.

 

HE'LL MAKE SURE THAT I AM FED,

MAKING COFFEE, OATMEAL AND TOAST,

A SURPRISE BREAKFAST IN BED.

 

IF THE TRASH NEEDS TAKEN OUT,

I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY,

JEFF WILL HANDLE IT, NO DOUBT!

 

HE'S BEEN THERE FOR ME TIME AFTER TIME,

I APPRECIATE HIM SO MUCH,

I'M PROUD TO SAY HE'S A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.

what a sweet tribute to your friend ! i do hope that you have shared this with him. this is just my opinion of course, but the only glitch i stumbled over was the bedroom line...can it be shortened to preserve the flow ? or did you choose to extend this image. ? i am thinking something like : or the messy bedroom now clean... but hey no matter. this is something jeff will treasure i am sure. nicely done.

It is always great to have someone that puts you first no matter what. They just cannot do any wrong. I remember those days when everyone treated people as those pristine people were in the friend quatrain. Now days they are rare but still there. Thank you for sharing this.

I do love to see males and females ebarking in true friendship, that more than anything probably fuels hope inside my heart, we are seperate sexes but both humans.
Nice loving write.
