-Friends. {Diatelle} -

........................Friends
.......................are here
....................always near
................for you when you
........need them there for a cheer
.. they will bring you out of the blues
and brighten up the smiles long overdue
love from one heart to another is often sent.
.....but with happiness, pain comes too
...........you don't know when or who
...................it will bring tears
.....................when years
...........................end.

    Very nice...an older piece, and I can see how much your writing has grown. It's amazing! I'm glad you kept on writing and trying because you are by far one of the best poets on this site. With just my own opinions, there isn't much to critique on your work.
