The Richness of Our Friendship
By Jane Richer and Pam Murray
A friend is a person that cares even when you don't;
A like minded spirit who holds you when life won’t.
You can feel their love even though you are miles apart.
A true friend always has space in your heart.
When you feel you can't cope anymore,
You see the truth, just what good friends are for.
A soul sister or brother that knows you best.
A safe haven, where you can come to rest
Pity the ones that have not yet found that special friend!
It was a melding we knew would not end.
Thank God that He gave you this wondrous soul!
It anchors me when Life’s out of control.
No matter what may trip us up or come our way
The richness of our friendship always saves the day
So if you feel that the world is closing in,
No room for loss, our true friendship will win.
How very lovely and such a wonderful collaboration Jane and Pam. A true friend is such a treasure and you captured the essence of true friendship. Thank you for sharing your talents with us here on Whispers. The poem was a joy to read.

Jane and Pam,
ReplyDeleteThis shows the true meaning of friendship! Good job!
Sincerely,

Thank you David, Jane and I have a longstanding friendship. We used to live much closer and we used to write quite a few of these collaborations. It is such fun to write with another person and there are so many ways to do so. We've done one where each wrote a verse at a time. :)

Jane & Pam... thank you very much for writing and sharing this poem. Technically, it is flawless, and that is important. But, far greater is the mean, both evident and underlying. I found myself nodding my head, in approval, as I read through it... and I really took it to heart, because I have been blessed with just such a friend. We have stuck together, through good times and bad, and I cannot envision that ever ending... oh, and to make things ever better, for this moment... she is Canadian. :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Michael. Yes such friendships can be so rewarding, can't they. I'm so pleased you like this poem so much. I'm sure Jane agrees wholeheartedly.
