I hope you enjoy these, as much as I enjoyed writing them..
I have a few other poems rattling around on my hard drive, as well as on floppy disks..
There will be more added, and everytime I do they will be inserted on the top right after this opening paragraph along with a date posted..

Friends..
*********
Friends are the most wonderful gift a person can have in life..
The Love, Joy, and Happiness they can bring..
They can lighten the darkest moments..
Fulfill the best of dreams..
Share the wonderous moments that life can bring..
From the smallest moments to the largest..

Frienship is the most wonderful gift that a person can give..
In giving Friendship you are receiving..
In being a Friend you become one..
Being there and being true,
through times of good and bad..

Being there..
Seeing a Friend smile through the tears of sadness..
Lending a helping hand to one so dear..
knowing you are there for them,
and in turn them knowing you are there..
In the knowing can bring the greatest strengths ..
Strengths we never knew we had or possessed..

Just a thought..
Where would we be today without our friends..
I can't imagine..
For MY Friends have helped me become the person that I am today..
Thank you one and all..
For the most special gift anyone could give..

As I think of you..
********************
As I lay here thinking of you ..
I think about your warm, smooth skin next to mine..
The way your body felt ..
Your arms when they were caressing me close..
The closeness that our body had shared..
The closeness our souls shared..

I think of the whispered words..
That were said as you laid next to me..
As I remember the words..
I also remember the smell of your body ..
The sweet fragrence of you..
The beat of your heart,
as I laid on your chest and listened..

Laying here I shead a tear..
A Tear of pain, ache, and loss..
The pain of my heart ..
As I miss you ..
The ache of my soul..
As it knows it is the end..
The loss of spirit..
As I know you will never be here again..

The end..
The end of the two of us that once was..
End of the times that we shared..
The tender moments..
The whispered words of Love..
The Love that was shared..

It may be the end..
You may be gone..
But your memory lingers on..
That is something that can't be taken away..
The memories of the good times..
The bad memories will fade in time..
No matter where I go in life..
You'll be with me till the end..
Only the good memories..
None of the pain..
