You know when you are so amazed at how you could ever find that special friend whom shares your every moment? Who reaches for you exactly how you hoped, and always, always, helps make your dreams come true?! That's what my best friend is to me. We are inseparable! I love you Ker!!!

Written for a very dear friend of mine, who had no idea of the depth of my friendship and love. If there is someone in your life that you love, let them know. By telling them, it may open doors to you that until that time you had only dreamed about.

This poem is dedicated to my best friend, who, even with all her faults, is beautiful to me. She is, to me, my light in the dark, my strength when I am weak, and my comfort when I am hurting. When my boyfriend and I broke up, she was the only thing that brought me through (even though she kept saying those four words no one wants to hear after a relationship gone bad, "I told you so!"). This poem might be a little difficult to understand because of its format, but if you understand that all the subsequent phrases connect to the first phrase, it's easy to understand.

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.

This is a poem I wrote for a friend who was just simply having a bad day and struggling with some stuff.

Everyone needs a true friend - this is to a very special one in my life

This was written for my wonderful friend, Anna, whose closeness to me is akin to a twin. When faced with the devastating news that she had cancer, I wrote this poem and brought it to the hospital as I felt I could not let a moment go by without ensuring that she knew how much our friendship means to me.

With love and courage, I am pleased to say that she successfully beat her cancer, and continues to be my caring and trusted friend to this day.

I have a special person who I find is so often the inspiration for so many of my poems. When an occasion arose to celebrate their love and friendship yet again, I found mere words were simply not enough.

Have you ever had someone come into your life and inspire you? I wrote this poem for a very special friend, who without really doing anything, breathed new life into me. For that I'll never be the same.

"Cherished" is some words given to a dear and near friend in time of peril. I wrote this one for my girlfriend when she was on shaky ground. However, it is less about amorous love and more about friendly love. It basically says that even though it looks dark, there is always someone here for you. The narrator is also telling the receiver how important she is to him. Be strong, lean if you must, and go on with a solaced soul.
