BUILDING A FRIEND
Silver LaDuke Sep 2012
If I were to build a friend,
Here's what I would do.
I'd hunt for the finest parts,
And put them together with glue.

I'd need the normal things,
Like a body,and legs,and arms.
A head,a face,and feet,it's true,
But the best part is it's charm.

I'd get ears that listen,
With a heart so true.
There would be love to share,
When the soul is blue

I'd get some sympathy and tears,
When bad times are near.
I'd get some laughter and joy,
For when good days are here.

But most of all, it's true,
Together we would stand.
For we would be joined,
By GOD's loving hand.

Friends forever on,
We're steadfast and true.
There for each other,
Friends, always true blue.
I've had a very dear friend for 28 yrs that died in 2010.I wrote this poem in June 2000 for her. She was all this and more for me.
