Forever Friends
by Kenneth JP Drysdale

Each day is a new awakening,
as my eyes open slowly to the light
shining through my window.

To rise from my bed like the sun has risen from the horizon,
rubbing my eyes as I feel a smile form naturally on my face,
knowing I am not alone in this world with friends in my life.

A friend to me is someone that will always be there,
someone that has a golden heart,
forgiving without question,
caring unconditionally,
truly forever.

We meet thousands of people in our lives,
on the streets we walk,
on the buses we travel,
in the stores we shop,
at places we work,
through computers we chat,
but very few become loyal, honest friends.

To meet a woman, a stranger,
for her to see a kind caring person inside me,
as she holds on when hope seems forever lost.
Helping me, 
believing in me when she doesn't even know me.
Intuition shed only from an angel.

A truly divine friendship, lingering with romance.
Mysteriously sought through magical moments,
can be transformed into the highest level
of love and ultimate affection for only one.

Special in it's particular uniqueness,
touching hearts with caresses of the soul.
As this love may die,
times changing, must be for a reason.

Sad, sorrow filled eyes that may cherish lovely memories.
Only to remember the friendship that first blossomed,
connecting again time after time,
to always be forever friends.
