What Comes Of Tomorrow by Christine
Joy is what fills the heart of they
which hold within the mysteries of a friend
A passion unknown unto words
Within them fall the tears of all things they endure as one
And from their eyes diamonds fall,
So precious every one
Dear within, the memories they caress with sorrow
And gather them today, for what may come of tomorrow
Priceless
Priceless ever are these moments that we spend with those so dear
Comforting now to know that they are near
Yet there comes a day when they see the eagle soar
And feel within their hearts
A passion so much more
As we stand beside them when that gleam glows in their eyes
What comes of tomorrow
My friend's lost paradise
And though a distant barrier wells up within the heart
There is a joy inside
To know the joy of a dawning start
Standing there beside them on that road to paradise
We say farewell and weep
Knowing they must also compromise
And so we hold them close and whisper in their ear
Please take with you these memories.
Then from the eyes,
Your tear.

I have very few friends who are true to my heart. Yet, those that are, I care for and love unconditionally. I wish for them health, happiness, prosperity, beauty, and love. I wish for them all things good.

This poem is one I wrote to one of my very closest friends when she had to go off to graduate school over two- hundred miles away from her friends and family, to a city where she knew absolutely no one. She was so excited about polishing her college education, yet at the same time she was anxious and fearful. She was scared she would loose her friends and not be able to make new ones. Though, I couldn't bare the thought of her leaving, I knew she was edifying her dreams and ambitions, and I knew that I was so proud of her and that I would always be here for her, just as I knew she would always be there for me no matter how many miles apart. The day she left, we both embraced crying as if we would never see each other again.

It has been almost a year now, and we see each other once a month and we write and e- mail each other sometimes twice a day. I am grateful to have her as a friend.

bubble what a great poem this poem is fool of passions - courtney
bubble A dear friend took her life almost a year ago. I am still trying to come to terms with it, finding it hard to believe even now. She was beautiful, kind and much loved by her daughters, family and many friends. I wish I could tell her I love her and loved her all the years of our friendship (over 20 years). Your lovely poem made me think of her. - julia
bubble just last year i lost a friend. he committed suicide and it was very devistating. he was such a wonderful person and i couldnt see him doing something like that. but i finally realized why he had killed himself from reading his poems that he wrote and i came to a better understanding, some of the things he wrote about, he couldnt tell me so he wrote it in a poem and yes it is so hard to say goodbye to a friend who has lost their paradise, but it has made more strong and much more alert. so i miss him. i really like your poem and i hope you have good luck with you poetry. - monica
