Heart of friendship

The ravages of time
Have cracked this ol heart.
The pieces that are missing,
Given to friends,
Though just a part of who I am.
We never have the answers
To questions felt so deep,
But always
There are friends that know our very need.
Bound by a love that only mortals know,
Friendship gives the hope
That the bond would only grow.
This ugly, broken heart,
You see inside my soul,
Serves to remind
That friendship takes it's toll.
Something that the careful
Shall really never know.
We laugh,
We cry,
We share in times of mourn
But never shall a friend
Let another's heart stay torn.
It is our friends that make our hearts complete
And our loves which make our life so sweet.
Though a heart be ugly,
With pieces taken out,
There's always someone near
That a heart can't live without.
Though a heart is never perfect
We see a perfect part
That is what true friendship
Sees within your heart.

i should say thank you for the poem, i usually cant read thru them, but that reminds me of a friend i lost a few years back, she always new what bothered me and how to fix it. i miss her so bad after that. friends like that are hard to find, but you know they will be there no matter what.

It was a beautiful poem, do you believe there are many true friends...?

I can be a true friend. That was a great poem Faded. Friends can be a dime a dozen, when you have em on your friends list and one decides to disembark without a say so, no big loss. The ones that stay are true to you. And when you find that special someone such as I, then friendship, love, and eternal bliss is what its all about. Hope you find that special someone buddy and keep your chin up.

jennakathleen, you're very welcome. Yes, good friends are very hard to find. Specifically the ones that know you from the inside out.

Sealove, I believe a person can have many friends, but true friends are very few and special. They are a rare breed of people that know how to reach you in good times and bad.

Thanks Wolfeyes, you truly have a heart of woven gold. I've seen it many times with the words you choose and from the passion I feel in your writing. Even if that special someone has gone on, I always keep an extra smile in reserve and hope in my heart for a new day.


Thank you jennakathleen, sealove42, and Wolfeyes for the comments. Just the fact that I can reach people such as you is what keeps me writing.

((((faded )))))

Without my friends I would not be who I am today,, With thier love, guidance and scolding at times I have learned to live, move forward and breathe,,

Beautiful

Awww, thanks LAMom.

Friends come in many shapes and forms, some are fair weather friends when it suits them best and some are keepers for life, fitting our hearts like pieces to a puzzle to complete the picture. This is a very good poem as usual for you, loved it and the message that it brings to us all.

Awww, thanks songstress.
