[hometext] => This week is Friendship Week so I'd like to post the 2nd poem I ever wrote on this site. It was written to a friend of 50 years who I had just found again
[bodytext] =>  "JUST LET ME BE YOUR FRIEND" When I was 3, small, and not very tall. I loved creatures of all sizes, shapes, and form. No one taught me this, Was just natural for me, was just "Norm" Butterflies, grasshoppers, snakes, birds, kitties, puppies, anything alive. I doctored them when they were sick, With lots of love, helped them survive. One day I ventured down an alley Located behind my house. There I found cement "Ash Pits" all around. They were the best "stopping places" in town!  This is an "ashpit" where you burn your trash. I'd catch everyone early, as they emptied their trash. I met all the neighbors in one big "Flash!" We'd visit, laugh, and sometimes cry. I found I loved people! It didn't make a difference to me why? I never saw their outsides Nor the clothes they would wear. I sensed their "insides." Their hearts, their souls, and I'd care! "Just Let Me Be Your Friend!" Was the message I emitted to all! I'm not too little to have friends. I may not be very wise, But my heart is filled with love, If only you would open your eyes! Seems strange somehow now. As I recall those years gone by. I'm 64 years older, and with a sigh..... I can honestly say, I haven't changed. I've been rearranged, but my heart is still in tact. "Just Let Me Be Your Friend." To love you, to care, to always be there..... My heart is still filled with love. The best way to keep it there, Is to give it away, and to share. And so my dear friend. Little did you know when you paid your fee. You'd find a True Friend. Out of your past, an Old Friend. One to last, one, just like me!

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. ©
