No one can make a friendship
steadfast and true,
without working to build a
bridge
throughout years of troubles
and sickness…
A bridge to walk when there
is no one else to care…
a true friend is a smile
that stays when you walk,
the bridge alone.

ReplyDeleteBill, what a wonderful and touching poem. It brought tears to my eyes, especially where you wrote: "a true friend is a smile
ReplyDeletethat stays when you walk, the bridge alone." Such sentiment in a well-written piece. Thank you for sharing, my friend. Continued blessings!
