If We Could Create a Friend!
 
When we are lonely and our hearts don’t seem to mend,
What if we were able, to create a special friend?
We could give them any traits and build them anyway we can,
We could make them a woman or we can make a man.
 
I think I’d start with character, the kind I’d like to see.
I’d give them honesty, trust and a lot of loyalty.
I’d then put in some kindness along with a gentle heart.
I’d give them spirituality, for it’s the most essential part.
 
I’d give them untold love, that fills their very soul.
I’d give them strength and courage, so life won’t take its toll.
I’d throw in a sense of humor so they could make me laugh.
 I’d toss in education like English, Science, and Math.
 
I’d make them very giving to others and themselves.
I’d give them lots of energy like tiny little elves.
I’d put in some wisdom so they would understand.
How important friendship was, throughout this enormous land.
 
I’d provide a smile that would light up their face,
And give them so much joy that nothing could replace.
All these traits I’d give to them, are exceptional that’s true .
But God’s creation was better than mine, when I found that friend in you!

Bonnie May

Dear Bonnie,

Another of your friendship poems I like this one even better than the depression one. This one hit the spot and I hope your health is getting stronger. I am still praying for you to go far in this world and I believe you are an angel to most of the people on Author's Den. Lois

Beautiful, heartfelt poem, Bonnie. Friends are like honey: pure, sweet, and healthy!
And to find such a friend, is to BE the friend you describe. Reciprocal friendships are everlasting, methinks. God makes us both, and waiting for us to find one another!

Happy Easter!!

Micke
