For friends that love unconditionally!

Thank You, My Friend dots

-------------------------------------------

In my head, I can see your eyes
Hear your voice and see your smile
Knowing in my heart, you would be
With me for quiet a while
I may never get to see you again
And your love, I may never win
But you will go with me everywhere
Like a treasure I was made to feel
Treating me so precious and tender
This will always and forever be remembered
Opening my eyes and letting me see
How true friendship was suppose to be
A short time only we were allowed to have
To spend together, just a little while
Memory of that time will stay in my heart
Even though miles have kept us apart
A friend to you, I hope to always be
For you will never know what you did for me
Thank you, my friend for being there
And really showing me that you care

  Hi AlabamaFarmGirl;

How are you?! I hope you are fine....

First of all I want to thank you for your comment on "Letter of Tears", I really appreciate it & I'm glad that you liked it.

About this poem -which I chose to read as it's your featured- I really liked the concept of the poem, the main theme is a very good one.

I liked the description, as it was direct & simple!! And the words "Unconditional Love" is what it's all about!!

The poem in general was simple & direct to the point, but I must say that it kinda lost the imagination that usually adds value to any poem.

Anyway, sorry for not responding earlier as I don't sign in a lot as before & thanks again for your comment.

Keep it up,,,

Well if you wrote this to me I would get
All warm and tingly and think you were
Being awfully sweet

But you did not ask for thoughts you have
Asked for an overall assessment, Which I guess
Could include thoughts so I think this is very
Sweet and as far as sending it to a friend
Its perfect to express just how you feel
It is lyrical easy to understand and I should
Think anyone would be touched to receive
Such a poem.

Now the rest of what I say is just me trying to
Access it from the stand point of what little I
Know and since I have not managed to
Get published (I do have some nice rejection letters
Saying to please keep trying)
take it for what its worth.

Well It reminds me of popular country music
Now I like country music so I don’t consider
That a bad thing, but I am not aware of any
Publishers that are looking for this type of work.
I understand that Nashville has more song
Writers than they know what to do with.

So from one perspective it is fairly ordinary
And could use some metaphoric comparisons
To living it up.

Then you have a few lines that read a little
Awkward these three in particular caught my
Eye as be awkwardly structured

A short time only we were allowed to have
To spend together, just a little while

A friend to you, I hope to always be

So what you might try doing is to
Write out the idea of your poem
In prose don’t think about rhyme
Or rhythm, think about how you
Feel and what you want to say,
Try and make your point by comparing
Your feelings to something else
Instead of saying

In my head, I can see your eyes
Hear your voice and see your smile
Knowing in my heart, you would be
With me for quiet a while

Try to think of something that the two of you
Did together a fun day or intimate moment
That made you realize how much this person
Means to you, now its imposable for me
To know what that might be

But lets just say you spent the day
Riding horses in the country first you
Could write it out like in a journal or
Diary trying to remember everything
You can and get it down on paper
Then try to think of something that
Sums this experience up

Together we rode the thunder
Through the valley of laughing eyes
With the music of the wild wind
Your heart sang to mine.

So that’s what I suggest in this case
Take each important part of the
Day you spent or maybe pick the
Highlights from several different
Days then try and make a metaphoric
Comparison to explain how it made
You feel and forget all about trying
To make it rhyme.

  Three words really stand out in this poem for me ...I mean just reached out there and grabbed me! "Always and forever"
To make a long story short, these are the words I've put on every card and every gift I ever gave my wife doris Jean...
This was really nice!

  Another beautiful piece about the positive, unconditional love that finds itself as friendship! This can even be a spiritual piece for the love of the Lord.
Great!

  Not much I can add Linda. A very lovely and touching poem, written with care and a real sentiment of feeling running through all of it.

  The heartfelt warmth and appreciation for a friend even though parted by space is so evident in your writing that it brings longing into my mind for those that I myself am parted from. Getting lost in your words almost allows for the random rhyming.

  To have someone touch you in such a way as indicated in this poem, is a beautiful gift. An emotional bond of two people that, no matter how brief, touched each others lives in an unforgettable way.
Another great write from you.
I enjoyed!

  I love this piece...
Very sweet and it is said well.

I am drug into the back story of it. My mind fills in details that are not on the page.

I like the poem and the story.

I may never get to see you again
And your love, I may never win

Unrequited love?

There is appreciation and longing side by side.

Nice write.

  This is a wonderful poem! So very heartfelt and sincere! This is indeed touching. Reading this brings a smile to my face. It is always nice to hear of a beautiful friendship. Someone who can make this kind of impact on you is most definitely a blessing. Really good friends are hard to find. It seems we all think we have lots of friends until the time comes when we really need them, and it is then we find our many have turned to few. This poem expresses wonderful appreciation and gratitude to someone who obviously means a great deal to you. It is very well written and I wouldnt change anything about it. Just lovely! Take care!

  This is a really beautiful poem Linda, you did a great job on this one!
And I just wanted to say thank you for being my friend too, I hope we're friends for a very long time!
Oh, by the way, I again wanted to thank you for writing "Losing A Child To Adoption" for me, that poem really touches my heart!

luv Melissa

  I really liked this. The rhymes were very good, I thought. It kind of paints a picture of two friends walking through the park, sharing ice cream. Haha. Good job!

  This pice is kind of same rhymes...Like, I've heard the rhymes all before. They're very simple. The concept is great though. Very cute.

Knowing in my heart, you would be
With me for quiet a while <<< I think you meant, "Quite".

  Very good write. Yes I agree with sandman. Some people never find this love of a friend.
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
God Bless and keep up the good work.

  Nice !!!! This is a really awsome poem of friendship. Friendship is such a beautiful thing to have. Soeone to love you and let you share with them anything thats on your mind, bothering you, or thats holding you down. Friendship is also a very hard thing to loose I remember the night of my classes graduation that was the most happy and sad day of my life, happy cause I was out of high school but sad because I was going to leave some friends behind forever, I ll never forget embracing my friend aaron who was leaving for dallas the next day and thinking that I was loosing him for along time this poem is a really nice tribute to all the things about friendship and I think I am going to add this as a favorite..

much LOVE
James
