When I wrote this poem I was thinking of my friend. She was in need of someone to lean on and that's what best friends are for. This poem is about people always being there for their best friends.

This poem tells us how friends are truly forever, through the easy and the hard times.

Friends are forever…

It was a cold night in April of 1998 when I wrote this poem. My best friend needed a shoulder, and I offered all I had. I wrote this for her to know and remember that I'll ways be here for her no matter what obstacles we face. She'll always have a place in my heart, and she'll always be my little angel.

Life without friends would be almost like no life at all. My life has been touched by many beautiful things, but by being able to share those things with a friend has made them life-long remembrances.

This is a poem written to my dearest friend who has helped me to learn so much about life, at a time when I was feeling pretty low...As the oldest left home for college and life was changing quickly.

When life becomes overwhelming, as it sometimes does, one true friend can make all of the difference - with no more than simply being there, no more than reaching out a hand in the darkness.

This poem describes what I feel that it takes to make a friendship work. Everyone has their own view of this but I tried to put it into some perspective using a box to specify what part of a friendship goes into the making of this box.

There has to be a reason why we live and make friends but if our reasons are not fulfilled we are left with no reason for life itself.

I was in a seminar recently with troubled teenagers. I saw them share their hurts and frustrations. I saw a girl break down and cry, standing alone as she was accustomed to doing. And then a miracle happened. First one girl got up to hug her. And she held on. Holding her until she broke. And then they all got up and joined in. The one in the middle had her eyes closed the whole time, crying, letting out the pain she's been saving for years. When the music stopped, she opened her eyes and was surprised to find herself in the middle of a group hug. Tears streamed down my face as I watched these tough kids give Andrea all the love and support she needed. These are the thoughts that came into my mind.
