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 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
