I have a long time friend that occasionally brings out the worst in me and yet, she loves me as unfinished and sometimes broken as I am. While I have yet to learn how to comfort myself, somehow she can. And for that I am truly grateful.

This poem originally was published in Friendship Poems

Friends
Growing pains
Broken chains
A sad melody

Falling tears
Listening ears
A friend just for me

Reaching out
Sharing doubt
When life gets me down

Hands to clutch
Gentle touch
Can turn me around

Spoken words
Softly heard
Cognitivity

Holding tight
Loving light
Calm serenity

    I can truly relate to this poem. I have a best friend who comforts me through my ups and downs. Who cries with me, holds me and comforts me when I can't take the anxiety and stress of what life brings me. Then she carefully brings me back to reality so that I can plant my feet on the ground. I am always looking for ways to tell her how much I appreciate her love and friendship so I sent her this poem. Thank you
