Why do you love me my friend? <br /> <br />I love you for the lightness of your soul, <br />For the laughter and happiness you bring, <br />For the beautiful pictures you create <br />On the canvas <br />And on the page. <br /> <br /> <br />And if my soul becomes burdened <br />So I can not talk to you <br />For the pain in my heart <br />And the tears in my eyes <br />Will you still love me my friend? <br /> <br />I will. <br /> <br /> <br />And if my eyes become dim <br />So my paintings are unfinished <br />For the loss of vision <br />And the lack of passion <br />Will you still love me my friend? <br /> <br />I will. <br /> <br /> <br />And if my fingers become rigid <br />So I can send you no more <br />My stories and thoughts <br />And poems and words <br />Will you still love me my friend? <br /> <br />I will. <br /> <br /> <br />For if tomorrow when you wake <br />Your abilities are gone <br />I will see the very core of you <br />And I will love you more <br />……..my friend.<br /><br />Sallie Howson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-friend-49/
