We've been friends for 55 years...


Poem Artwork

 In a world of zero’s,

Lien is a major hero.

 

We are both each other’s brother,

Borne of another mother.

 

Together we’ve been since the age of eight,

Of no one does he hate.

 

His three grown children are the very best,

He and his wife have certainly therein been blessed.

 

His life is his business; he works there a great deal,

It completes him, he does not have to of it conceal.

 

We are there for each other, though he more than me,

Most of the time with each other we do agree.

 

His birthday is Sunday, so say for him a prayer,

As his belief in God cannot compare.

True friendship is a rare treasure. You are blessed, Ed; as he is as well.

Also, thank you for your "review" of my latest poem. I am not quite sure how to interpret the fact that you did not write a single word though. Well, it did make me think.

I have done this in error in the past but I just go to my Den page and go to "Review Tracker" where one can edit/delete etc. the reviews. Love and peace,

Regis

For all your needs, it's certainly good to know that you have a longtime friend that you can count on and are honoring with this poem.

At first I thought you were writing about a lien you had on your car, property or something else. ;-)
