Friend

Friend

A Poem by Scott S
"

More thoughts than poetry, but from the heart nonetheless.

"

A friend is someone that you can turn to
Who is always there, when all else fails
Not judgmental - but true and soft
A shelter from the rain in stormy weather
Passioned and kind, honest and firm
With ears and heart that are always open
Always ready to listen - ready to  love
And to help you plot your course
In times of doubt
A friend is someone who needs a friend
Who craves that special person
To return the favors- and return the love
Intuitive and watchful, patient and calm
Vigilant in eye and caring in soul
To give with generosity
And to receive with open arms- tender hands
A friend can be- and should be
Love

and a friend is the one who will tell you when you disappoint/hurt him/her.
I think love is the base to evrything wonderful in this world.

So very true and so well penned. I agree with all you have mentioned here and hope that I am indeed just that, to my friends and them to me. It's a rare thing to have such a special friend and we must feel honoured if they call us that also. Thanks for sharing.

That is so beautiful, so wonderfully worded. Everyone should think and feel that way...

Certain phrases really reach inside me:

'A shelter from the rain in stormy weather
Passioned and kind, honest and firm
With ears and heart that are always open
Always ready to listen - ready to love
And to help you plot your course
In times of doubt '

Now then, that is what Friendship is all about and with so few words you've found the recipe, equation.

Thank you so much for sharing.
