You are a friend of mine

Freindship can mean a lot of things...and most of them good.

You are a friend of mine

By Jack Ivey

 

Regardless of the situation, obstacles I face

Walls of stone along the path, detours in its place

Mountains I encounter as my steps are forced to climb

Nothing it will stop me for you are a friend of mine

 

Temperatures may rise and fall, the weather it may change

Storms that wear a threatening frown as skies do rearrange

Rivers overflowing till their banks fall by the side

Never shall they hold me back, you are a friend of mine

 

Burdens built of massive weight my shoulders they may bear

Roadblocks of a structured state my eyes might come to stare

Hurdles ever growing, hands behind my back they bind

They will not deter me for you are a friend of mine

 

Whenever you may need me, if for nothing much at all

Just to hear a friendly voice, I am the one to call

It matters not the hour any moment you may find

For I am always there for you, you are a friend of mine

Ah, you captured my thoughts on friendship beautifully here! I've learned that not every one values friendships in the same way, but still I hold to my own values. What are we without our relationships?
You're a good egg, Jack! ;-)

[Jack...]

A little scrambled maybe...thank you my friend.

My best friend lives out in California. We went through some scary s**t together and not a day goes by where I don't at least text him. I love him with all my heart and soul. Thank you for this Jack. It means a lot to me.

[Jack...]
