Shell's World - Poetry

Once the package of friendship
has been opened,
it can never be closed.
It is a constant book always written...
waiting to be read...
and enjoyed.

We may have our
disagreements...
we may argue...
we may concern one another...
friendship is a unique bond...
that lasts through it all...

A part of me is put into my friends...
some it is my humor...
some it is my listening ear...
some it is real life experiences...
some it is my romanticism...
but with all, it is friendship.

Friendships forged are a construct,
Stronger than steel built as a foundation...
Necessary for life...
and Necessary for Love.

Friends, you and me...
you brought another friend...
and then there were 3...
We started our group...
Our Circle of Friends...
and like that circle...
there is no begining or end...

A Friend

Accepts you as you are
Believes in "you"
Calls you just to say "Hi"
Doesn't give up on you
Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you
Keeps you close at heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Never Judges
Offers support
Picks you up
Quiets your fears
Raises your spirits
Say nice things about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Understands you
Values you
Walks beside you
xxoxoxoxxxoooxxoxo
Yells when you won't listen and
Zaps you back to reality

Its True!!!

I turn to you when I need a hand,
You come to me when your life is bland.

You are my shoulder to cry on when things are bad,
I am your mind when you lose it and go mad.

To you I come when I need a good smile,
For you I'll do anything, I'll go that extra mile.

You feel my pain and cry my tears,
I will listen and erase your fears.

I love you like a sister, you know its true,
In a dictionary friend describes me and you!

Simple vs. Real

A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend doesn't know your parents first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.

A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them.
A real friend expects to always be there for you.

Just You

It isn't the things you do or say,
It isn't your look or smile,
Nor what you wear
Nor your winning way,
Though all these things help a pile.

No, it isn't your gold that appeals to me,
It's something much finer by far:
It's you, Just You,
As your personal self;
It's you, Just You, as you are.
