last lap... OF THE POEM,QUOTE,SHORT STORIES NO TIME GIFT She died; i wasnt ready. I suppose one never is. I wept, my heart so heavy Full of pain so desolate.
Yet all the while a distant thought Was welling up inside. My pain was building walls Wherein my heart could hide.
Safe from the place of no more smiles, No clever spoken lines, No reading of each other's thoughts, No warm hands soft in mine.
No truer gift could be bestowed, Nor could it have been script. For in these walls were stored the jewels Of our true relationship. -Kathy Poncher THANK YOU, MY FRIEND Thank you my friend for just being you. For just being there when i needed you. For giving and giving without a reprieve. For giving me someone to trust and believe. You gave me your shoulder, your ear and your heart. And by this you kept me from falling apart. You shared with me some of your wisdom and mirth And made me feel like i was someone worth. Because you were there I will always be grateful. And because you're my friend, I will always be thankful.
-Nellie McDowell GOLD FRIEND When you have a good friend you want to keep her. You see her everyday. You have special nicknames, And funny things you like to say. Then something happens as you grow older. Interests change Your lives do, too. You dont see that friend as much as you used to. You slowly drift apart, Day by Day, Night by night. You dont realize it, But when you do You start to write. The first letter is long, The one you get back is, too. But neither remembers to write again to the friend who wrote to you. Time elapses, Your mind forgets. You start to drift. Until you come across that letter, The precious letter you saved. And you think, I wonder what she is doing today. What has happened since i last wrote? I wonder if she's made new friends, And what friendships she has broke? You remember the saying: Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, and the other is gold. You know she's a good friend, You dont want to lose So you take out some paper And think of the right words to use. You make an effort To express to your friend That friends of the heart, You will be 'till the end.
-Mollie F.Drabik LOVING FRIENDS You dont need to tell me, That friends can grow apart; That even the near and dear May someday break your heart.
The ones that you love now, Can't guarantee tomorrow; And the ones that bring you joy, May also bring you sorrow.
For although things may seem Just perfect at the time, People sometimes change, And leave your heart behind.
You do not need to tell me, I've been through it all enough, I know just what it feels like To lose someone that you love.
Whether it's a buddy or a pal, A confidante or best riend, it's the pain of losing them That hurts too much to mend.
And now im realli scared, it's happening once again. I know that i am losing One more of my best friends.
Once, we were inseparable, We loved to be together, And i thought i knew for sure That friends we'd be forever.
I believed it in my heart, But it looks like i was wrong, I guess that our relationship Just wasnt quite that strong.
For it didnt take an arguement, A disagreement or a fight. At some point we just started To lead two separate lives.
I know that neither of us wanted For it to end some day, But now we're different people, We're heading different ways.
It hurts so much to go through this For yet another time, And it hurts to see that you are fine, While im the one who's crying.
For im always thinking back To the good times that we shared, Yet you just walk away from them Like you dont even care.
I've lost so many people That i've cared abot a lot; So this last scar will rest With all the others on my heart.
And carefully i'll trust again, And one day in the ned, My heart will be much stronger From the pain of losing friends. -Lindsey Ataya EVEN THOUGH I LOST A FRIEND we were always together, we swore we'd never part. where i was,tere u were, best of ffriends from the start. we both looked alike, with hair n eyes of brown. wen u were happy,i smiled, wen i was upset,u'd frown. tere was only u in my world, n no 1 bt me in urs. we shared everything friends could share, our music,our clothes,our chores. then suddenly this friendship we knew, began to change too fast. the magic of"us"had disappeared, it was clear tis wouldn't last. we struggled n struggled to save it all, we were put to the ultimate test. then before we knew it, we had both changed, in the long run,for the best. we had become two different people, as our friendship reached great dangers. the two little girls hu were once best friends, R nw young ladies n strangers. N for the first time in a while, i finally feel free. N even though i lost a friend, i smhow gained a me.
~EMILY BOIVIE THE BEST OF FRIENDSHIP don't walk in front of me, i may nt follow. don't walk behind me, i may nt lead. walk beside me and be MY FRIEND. ~ALBERT CAMUS LETTERS TO A FRIEND dear friend, i hav never told you bt u touched my soul with sculptor's hands N molded me into smth GOOD KIND HONEST U R tere to hold my hand wen i'm afraid of me hu else could i call with smth to say only to find nthin neds to be said? if a friend is a gift u give urself i hav given myself the best of presents.
