A Friend is always there!

My friend and I share the same birthday month and we have been celebrating together for many years. We also share a lot of the same memories of Reuben my husband of 45 years and her younger only brother. This year for her birthday I wrote her this poem letting her know how much I care for her.

We shared sad days

We shared the sun's rays

You were there...

When  I was so low

and the tears would flow

You were there...

Hands to clutch

gentle touch

You were there...

Reaching out

sharing doubt

You were there...

Falling tears

listening ears

You were there...

Times I couldn't even cry

and I just wanted to die

You were there...

I had so many fears

we cried and mingled our tears

You were there...

A loving friend indeed

you filled my every need

You were there...

You are a special friend

I'll love you till the end

You were there.
