I spent the day with you
Not in person but in mind
And in every single thought
It was you my heart did find

friends
When I start to doubt…
When I start to doubt the world
Pushing it away with all my might
Your words they pull me in
In an embrace that holds me tight
And you give me a newfound hope
That eventually everything will be okay
For those comforting words of yours
They’re what get me through my day

June Ann
I have a new friend
And her name’s June Ann
And oh what a joy she really is
She sends me plenty of thoughtful notes
And I laugh as she boasts
Cause she tells me what a good writer I am
And there’s nothing better for my self-pride
Than to have a friend come along beside
And give me the encouragement I need
So thank you June Ann
For offering me your sweet hand
And being an example of how a true friend should be
It’s people like you
Who keep the rest of us from being blue
Because you’re there when we need you the most

Dedicated to my friend, June Ann.
Certain people…
Isn’t it funny how certain people
Seem to make time stand still
There are just those certain persons
Who can give us quite a thrill
And it’s only every so often
That we meet such a friend
And the boundaries of their love for us
Seem to have no beginning or end
We just sort of mesh
In an amazing kind of way
There is never a single moment
Without something to do or say
And when you have a friend like this
You can’t help but want them near
Because it’s such a rare thing
To find a person who’s this dear

For you, my writing friends…
To my friends
The ones who write
Always bringing smiles
Both day and night
Each one of you
Is so very dear
I’ve grown to love you all
Over the years
So here’s my tribute
Meant for you
All these words
Sincere and true
First there’s Carl
My best friend ever
No longer writing on blogs
But I’ll love him forever
Second is Dorinda
In whom I can always depend
Think she’ll be a kindred spirit
Until the very end
Third there’s Walt
Who’s like a father to me
Always sharing his love
For all to see
Forth is Ivor
So sweet and caring
Very thoughtful
And always sharing
Fifth is Michael
Full of frivolity and fun
He’ll keep you laughing
Until the day is done
Sixth there’s Tessa
I’ve known her from the start
She spends her days
Sharing her heart
Seventh is Anthony
Who is very creative
His thoughts on life
Are often relative
Eighth is Chantel
My newest friend
Someone who anyone
Can truly depend
Ninth is Diana
Always willing to assist
Full of knowledge
None can resist
Tenth is Devereaux
Who is like a son
Think he can inspire
Just about anyone
And to all the rest
Who I haven’t mentioned here
Hope you know who you are
Because I hold you all dear
Much love to you
On this tenth day of December
Your continued love and support
I’ll always remember
