A good friend of ours picked up our medication for us from the pharmacy. On her way to drop it off, she stopped and got us supper. She refused to let us pay for our supper, to her it was just something nice to do for people she cares about. It started me thinking about all the amazing friends i have in my life. This poem is about them. Enjoy!

Friends Are Blessings

I have been blessed throughout my life,

With such amazing friends,

Forever we will stand as one,

True friendship never ends.

Whenever I am feeling low,

My spirits they will lift,

They never judge, just offer help,

Such caring is a gift.

They know they all can count on me,

As in them I can trust,

We rarely ask and would refuse,

All help until we must.

Yet when that dire time is come,

And our need is most great,

No doubt at all that help will come,

Friends save us from our fate.

It need not be calamitous,

Or huge, excessive pain,

To stop and visit with someone,

Who feels alone again.

They say that many hands will make,

A heavy load seem light,

And many hearts can bring one soul,

To sunshine from the night.

To all my friends I thank you for,

This gift you’ve given me,

I pray I’ve loved you all as well,

As you’ve deserved to be.

Cheers,

Being off work at the moment, and unable to do much, I’ve had a lot of free time on my hands. So I’ve been reading, watching movies, watching documentaries and…. reading some more. This poem is about that. Enjoy

Friends I’ve Never Met

I’d like to say a thank you to,

Some friends I’ve never met,

They’ve made my life so much richer,

I never will forget.

They’ve shown me ten million sights,

Where I will never go,

They’ve taught me things, that without them,

I’d have no chance to know.

I’ve read a ton of books or two,

Watched movies by the score,

Read comic books, and magazines,

And blogs and so much more.

The friends I’ve mentioned, have you guessed,

Whose words have led me here,

The storytellers of the world,

Who raise their voices clear.

Through fiction and non-fiction works,

They seek to strike that spark,

Their stories brightening the world,

Like lanterns in the dark.

And my life they have brightened so,

When greatest was my need,

I’d turn to them, beloved friends,

Get lost in what I’d read.

So now in turn I write this verse,

To emulate their deeds,

‘Tis but a weed amongst the dross,

Grown from such noble seeds.

All who create are each a part,

Of one great tapestry,

And though I have no famous name,

This bit was made by me.

Cheers,

No April would be complete without at least one poem dedicated to my incredible wife Lynn. She is inarguably the best and most incredible thing to ever happen to me! This poem is for her… Enjoy!

For My Angel

If thirty years ago you’d asked,

Me to forecast my life,

I’d not have thought to even guess,

It would include a wife.

Twenty-five years now we have shared,

Who knows how many more.

What years we have, I’ll share with you,

Our future to explore.

I love the years I’ve shared with you,

Each sweeter than the last,

The worst of them still better than,

Those in my lonely past.

I see the colours of this world,

More clearly through your eyes,

And every bit of time with you,

Wish I could memorize.

You see all that is good in me,

Help me with all the rest,

And want the world to see me as,

You do when at my best.

When I am anxious, stressed or scared,

You always understand,

It’s then you wrap me in your arms,

Sometimes just take my hand.

And slowly it all melts away,

As our love takes its place,

Your touch, your gaze, your gentle words,

All fill me with your grace.

So thank you for this life we share,

I’d never dreamed could be,

You are the greatest blessing love,

That there could be for me.

Cheers,
