A jumbled mess,
Suffer from stress.
Need to see you,
Help push me through.
Guiding light,
Keep you in sight.
Push and pull of life,
Suffering strife.
I need you,
Help push me through.
graduation, set them free
to discover who they'll
one day be

caps with tassels of red
or white, smiles that
shimmer and radiate bright

rings with names, years and gems
rest on the fingers of those in
columns of two

glossy diplomas embossed
with pride, words of achievement
heads held high

cards of congratulations from
friends and family, words of
encouragement written down

snap a shot with him then with her
in a few years this day will become
a happy blur

beaming parents whistle and roar
signs and homemade banners
rooting for #50, 7, 69 and 44

hugs, kisses, a final cheer
soon will be remembered
in yesteryear

graduation, set them free
to discover who they'll
one day be

It feels like I’ve forgotten something
Like there is something I should go back and get
But the truth is that I lost something
And I’ll never find it
It won’t be in a lost-and-found
It won’t be anywhere
I lost
A piece of myself
And I’ll never get it back
Because the part of my life that piece lived in
It is over
And it can’t be repeated
*ever
I’m not sure whether that is good or bad
Here is a face for
You, Mystery Man, colleague,
Strawberry farmer
As the months have gone by,
I have seen you try and try,
To turn things around& pick yourself up from the ground,
No matter what the rumour, never let it affect your humor,
A smile on your face,
Seems you have everything in place.

The fight goes on and on,
But still you, you remain strong,
The shine in your eyes,
Behind it you hide, the lies
of being okay, a struggle you face everyday.

But still through it all, you remain there,
Advice you give, your heart you share,
The love its real, you make sure I feel, creating your own little armour of steel.

An inspiration for me,
A true friend not hard to see,
Beside you I will remain,
No matter what the pain.
Quick poem for a friend, it is not complete needs work but i will complete it soon
