#10 Promise

When Becky and I got into a fight, I got very upset. It just happened that the next day I was going to a church camp over the weekend with some of the teens in my Sunday school class.

Here I met another friend, Katie, who was having a different problem. We both connected with each other that weekend. She completely understood what was happening between Becky and I, and I completely understood what was going on Between her and Charlie.

We're best friends now, and we haven't said our mutual promise out loud. We don't need to.

Promise

by Jessica Sills

As you sit in silence,
Wondering why
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Until your tears run dry.

When you've been hurt,
And can't believe what they've done
If you need someone to talk to
I'll be the one.

If a close friend hurts you,
And you don't understand
Remember I'm here,
I'll lend a helping hand.

Burdens are lighter when carried by two,
And I just want you to know
I'm here for you.

It is a very nice poem. I felt really touched. Reading this poem had reminded me how my best friend and I had broken due to my stupidity. Not being there for her when she needs me,never showed love,care and concern.

At this point in time my best friend did something that was not right. she could have taken a different direction and she didn't and i sent her this poem and i hope that when she gets out of the hospital she can read it and she will understand why am here and who much i care for her. how much her friends care for her.
