Good write G/F. Friends and acki-wotsits. Can\'t spell it, been at the sherry!
Well, with friends like me in 1066, who needs enemies?! heehee.
Or sometimes it\'s a friend (who is trying to help you) in need....is a pest!

Yes such friends in that latter verse are worth more than gold. A good reminder that despite the other kind we can find true friends appear when needed.

Goldfinch you nailed it. There are two kinds of people. The ones who understand and the ones who dont. My definition of a \"friend\" is a person you can call at 2am to come get you. He/She comes, gets you, and only then gives you hell for being a dumb shit.

Friends and even acquaintances (got the spelling of that right first time - its going to be a good day) are like the air we breathe - without them life is not worth living. You are so right that just being there for us if we need them(or if they need us) is one of life\'s blessings. So well expressed here.

Well, there was that feisty MP at Parliament\'s opening. He made a joke to crack on with things, as the first Ascot race was 2.30pm. heehee.

Erm, yes. Harold said the same as 1066. Why didn\'t I shut up? I just had to say \'Look up, Sir\' and put my foot in it, didn\'t I?! ooh.

A strong commentary which, sadly, is generally true. I do sense a change however, a rejection of the old ways.

I\'m not so sure that they tell lies - they simply never tell the truth. Great read.

Goldfinch, a beautiful description of trust. Reminded me of the trust a toddler has towards his parents.

Excellent GF. Over here blackbirds are taking over at the expense of other native species, but I like them, nonetheless. It\'s been a while since I had an encounter with a young one. Lovely capture.

I really feel for you - my father suffered from this and It wasn\'t until quite late in its development that we realised the strain it put on my mother. Your poem captures the despair of this awful problem.

Sensitive write. Maybe we don\'t notice the contrast so much, if \'close-up\' and seeing it every day. Not that we don\'t see the contrast at all - because we do see it.
But it may seem sharper to someone who does not see a person or situation every day.

God\'s Words.
FredPeyer said:
A very thoughtful poem. And you are right, all the words we write do come from within us. Do they come from god? Maybe...it all depends on the writer and his/her belief. For a buddhist, it may be different. But regardless, let\'s be thankful that we DO have words to pen.
