For JoAnn and Meggie <br /> <br />Sometimes friends think <br />they’ve dragged you down, <br />when it isn’t that way at all. <br />As you talk to them on lonely nights, <br />they light a candle in your heart to show you the way. <br />That isn’t dragging you down, <br />but picking you up from the place to which you fell. <br />These friends mean so much to you <br />that you miss them when they are not there. <br />Their bond of friendship <br />is like the bond of marriage <br />that ties one another together <br />through thick and thin. <br />You feel sad when they think they’ve hurt you. <br />So, I’m telling you my friends <br />and the entire world to see. <br />There is nothing you can do <br />to ever hurt me the way you think you do. <br />There is only one way <br />you could ever hurt me <br />and that is saying a few simple words <br />like you don’t want to be <br />my friend anymore. <br /> <br />8 June 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bond-of-friendship/
