[hometext] => Dedicated to my friend Dan. In many ways I would not be here if it were not for his friendship.
[bodytext] => Notes: In the poem I use a greek word for the word friend "agape" ( pronounced "a-gop-a") not to be confused with the english word agape which is spelled the same way but pronounced differently. There are two words that I know of for friend in the greek language phileo which is acquaintance and agape which is a much deeper friendship. There are a few people who I have this sort of friendship with where we are more like family than friends Dan is one of them. I hope that each of you will come to have a friendship like that. I hope you enjoy the poem which is a dedication to him. There are not words to describe that will help me to say what your friendship really means to me. I can conjure substance from our dealings in the past and hope they still are in your memory. Scattered shards of talks we had important barely bring what I hope into view. For what memories of us that I could speak of would be better than the simple words thank you? I can try to use words that are didactic but you may not understand what they mean I can write in a way that is flamboyant but it would take away from the real me Times you helped me through my sad times words can not express I hope that I will do the same if you ever feel distressed The sun rises on us and I hope it will not set but I know it will, but before it does Thank you for a friendship pure like water Thank you for a depth just like the sea the world sees it and they are astounded yet it means so much more unto me The world can be filled with such depravation people use their friends for what they need but I have found some one to say "agape''" a love to last throughout eternity I watch the world in all it''s acclamation build walls soon washed away by the sea I call you more than friend you are my brother I thank you for the friend you''ve been to me (To the moderator in the notes where I show the reader how to pronounce the word agape (a-gop-a) if it is possible please replace the first a with an upside down e for that represents the correct pronunciation Thanks) [comments] => 5 [counter] => 441 [topic] => 16 [informant] => Archie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => FriendshipPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
