Friends 3

Friends 3

Being a friend
Requires compassion
The ability to listen
Not to judge
And the willpower 
To stand with your friend
No matter what

Having a friend
Is a special treat
They bring joy
Into one’s life
Help us heal
After a tragedy
They listen to our
Hopes, dreams and fears
Comforting as needed

Everyone can be
A friend
Everyone should
Have a friend
Friends help make
Life easier
And more pleasant

Gone

Gone
Here I sit broken-hearted
My best buddy has departed
Oh how will I ever survive
The grief and agony eating me alive

Fiends lost to the afterlife
Fill our hearts with strife
Losing a friend can cause pain
In our hearts and our brain

The loss of one’s parents
Nowhere hints
At the pain felt
When one is dealt
The blow of a friend’s death

The loss of a friend
Can bend
Our senses
Causing us to build fences
Around our hearts

So cherish your friends Right until the very end
With all your might
You never know when friends will take flight

Friendship

Friendship
Friendship is a thing
That must be shared
The rewards and benefits
Of friendship
Are only felt
When it is exchanged
With another

Memories

Memories
Practicing yoga today
Listening to Bob Seger play
Brought back memories stored away
Of the day
Dunk and I were held in Bob’s sway

We went to see Bob live
To hear him juke and jive
Bob’s music makes us feel alive
And revived

It was a great show
Well worth the dough
Dunk was all aglow
Basking in Seger’s musical flow

It was a fantastic night
Dunk got to be in the spotlight
Cheering with all his might
At Bob’s musical flight

The memory was so warm and fuzzy
It made my head all buzzy
Although the edges were kinda muzzy

I miss my best buddyL
