Always There (poem)

I wrote this poem when I was a teenager and put it in a book I made for my Journalism class.  I enjoyed looking back through these poems 15 years later! holy cow, have I been out of school THAT long?!! let me recalculate...1996 minus 2011, yep I believe so.. well, will be this May.

Anyway, it is amazing how we change as we age.  However, this poem has not change too much...with the exception of GOD being my best friend and my husband being my second best friend, oh and of course I have some besties too BUT...anyway just read the poem and you will get the my jest...haha!

Always There

There's a friend out there that everyone could know.

You can take this friend with you everywhere you go.

It will always listen and even understand.

Never telling anyone, always holding to your hand.

This friend will not forget the things most important to you.

Always there to remind you of the things that you should do.

A friend like this never asks for favors in return.

It will show you things about yourself, there is so much you can learn.

This friend is a simple item that anyone can possess.

In all times that I needed a friend, PAPER has been the Best!

Of course, since writing this I met Jesus and HE has truly been the best friend that I could ever ask for!!  HE has all the above qualities and much much more!  But, I must say that writing has been a wonderful outlet for me. 

Until next time, God Bless!
