"Precious Friends"


 

Why Am I still trying

When I feel like I am dying

Why is it when I gain something

I lose so much more than I count for

Why does the sun shine

But stay dark within my heart

Why does the star still shine above

Even thou the moon are gone to sleep


Why do my tears still fall

When I feel numb…nothing at all

Why do my eyes shine


Knowing my heart is dying

Am I losing another precious friend

Why am I still trying

It’s because I love you

My precious friends!!

Tinka,

From what I have read of your poetry and the comments that you've received in your reviews, it seems that you have a lot of precious and true friends! You write with your whole heart and soul. I don't think you have to try that hard. Your friends shower you with love and they don't seem to be going anywhere! This is a great poem. Thanks for sharing it! The sun and the stars do shine ...Smile and enjoy them! :)

Tinka, you have always been able to reach into your heart for many reasons, and it shows in your poetry, my friend. There are many who for whatever reasons cannot understand that friendship doesn’t have to include the “whole package,” just an honest one. Be happy and never feel you’re unwanted nor loved. Take care and be well.

Tinka, you remind me of someone who can't be happy unless she is sad. Could I be close to the truth?

Dear Tinks

Take heart dear one, life is strange and complex. Never allow others to upset or intimidate you, it's their biggest loss dear Tinks. Beautifully expressed poetry, straight from the big old heart of yours, keep smiling :) There is always a bright light ahead.

warm hugs and love

Thank you Ed I will do "Almost" anything to keep my friends in my heart...I will even walk through "Hell" but some hurt just gets the better part of me knowing even though I tried my best some will never
believe there is something like true frienship without the "Package" to go with it as some people may think.
And I know my friends know me better than that to judge me by "hearsay Look here" crap....but the public eye may think differently.

I love You and all my friends and readers who visit and read my words my heart my soul penned down...not someone elses!! Like the one posted and advertised on AD without my consent yet again!!

Warm Love Tinky

You will always keep trying, Tinka, because you really do have a loving heart for your friends.

Beautiful poem Tinks! You write so well friend. Just watch the grammar e.g. 'Why do my tears still fall' instead of 'Why does my tears still fall' and 'Why do my eyes shine' and not 'Why does my eyes shine. Hope this helps. If you want to delete my post after you've read it by all means do so. This is not a criticism because I know that English is not your first language. I think you do exceptionaly well considering. Write on sweet lady...

Sometimes the friends we think are true because we are to them,
do not feel the same about friendship as we do.WE have to
do better in learning to understand the limitaions of others.

Tinka, a precious friend is serious. Maybe they're just on a walk about. When they're done, they'll be back. Otherwise you have to ask, were they ever a precious friend or a fair weather friend? As in only a friend when they needed you, but never when you needed them. ~ Sara

Some friends have always been around and will continue to be around us, it is a matter of whether or not we can see them or feel their presence or not.

Some friends are angels in disguise, I know I have a lot of these friends around me.
