How often I have found No loyalty where I had hoped to find it
And how often I have discovered it where least expected
It seems such a blessed thing when at first we find a friend
And it feels so devastating when we find our heart rejected
By the same one we called "Best friend"
Rare is the friend who faithfully stands by another friend, in all his trials
And when we find this pearl in another, it all becomes worthwhile
When we look into each other and find a different color or opinion
It's as though the mirror is showing us, something to believe in
Often it's a reflection of ourselves that first frightens us
And it's only a friend that can, turn our head to enlighten us
How wonderful and peaceful a feeling, when we begin to trust
Morphing selfishness into things we rush to our friend alone to discuss
And OH the conversations, that come trippingly off the tongue
When a friend is there to challenge you, and bargaining has begun
The magic of ideas and plans being made for things yet to come
Stirs the powers of the soul, changing THEIR ideas into OUR passion
A mind boggling whirl of inspirations and contemplations
Exchanged between two living souls in never ending negotiations
A happy fencing match of two separate points of view
Boiling down to simplicity and the kindly acceptance of
Saying, "I Love You!".....

Hey there Mr. Maveli, thanx so much for commenting here.......I know what a good friend you are to everyone here.....so I'm most pleased that you were able to leave your kind impressions here........thanx again my brother.........tony xx
Hey Tone,
A friend is someone whom accepts you for whom you are, the beliefs you
hold dear and sacred at heart and whose criticism is meant to be
constructive, rather then a public put down.....You threaded very
lightly, in a conversation, that can clearly be seen, to weigh
so heavily, on the heart and mind of the creator, of this poem.
There are those who are selfish and is oblivious to the fact, of what
friendship truly curtails and never will be aware,boasting of a
relationship of acquaintances, rather than honest to goodness,
sincered feelings, for others...Then you have those, that search high
and low, for means of support for another when there exist, none to
be known but they continue to venture on, rendering love
care and support, the best and only way, they know how, are is
capable, of achieving, such as done, on this site, like that of the
critically acclaimed literary salons, where award-winning, best-selling, and
up-coming writers read their own work amongst friends as well as to
them. Well written poem and truth sewn throughout the entire poem...
sincerely,
Jim
Hi Jim, you always pop up at the most interesting times.....I am so happy you commented today.....friendship is something worth discussing, in my opinion.......I don't think people do it enough.....tell each other that is.......you know what I mean?.....it's hard sometimes to tell someone how much you appreciate their friendship....so much goes unsaid.....sometimes it's too late when it comes.....thanx so much JIM........your friendship is apparent everywhere......I appreciate all your kindness sweet soul........your friend and admirer..........tony xx
"Ditto, a zillion times over Tony T." You are an incredible, (not only) poet but human being as well...You are a rariety my friend, don't ever change for any......
Your follower, friend and admirer,

A lovely poem that explains clearly the enjoyment of true friendship and your talent and the light of your soul shines through your words. When people are lucky to find such frienships it changes their lives. If we all nurture that special love as it should be and how God teaches us to, we are passing that love on to others and bringing those we love, true happiness and this in turn carries on the Lords work that he wants us to spread. True love changes lives for the good of mankind and that in turn improves and develops the world for the better.
Our souls have found each other at last and changed each others lives so much and I am so proud to be your best friend and we love each other so much that it not only has improved our lives, it has also improved our physical health and our emotional health. It is bringing so much happiness to our spiritual lives.
You and I are truly able to spread Gods work and we are both in turn spreading our love to others and bringing happiness to all we communicate with.
We have a beautiful love for each other and a sincere friendship that will last for the whole of our lives and I feel extremely proud and so lucky to have found you T` You will always be my special huge Beasty Boy!
