# Old friendship... Author: Jiblits Tags: Poem, Poetry, Rememberance, Short Story, slice of life To an old friend I find always at heart through my toughest days, with memories so clear....it's almost as if we never parted ways... Old friendship... Dearest friend beyond the stars, looking toward all that is & ever will be I thank you for your time, & the friendship you saw worthwhile in me To my depth, my being, & what I shall become I owe you lifetimes of gratitude, & then some... For the patience you showed me far beyond what was needed With your head held high, & encouragement to spare, I proceeded & succeeded Wording not enough, I smile about the memories I recall Know in good hands, I hold your lessons near as tears begin to fall Too soon, we parted ways, your journey just beginning all it's own I'll do my best, for what I can, to show you & all others, how I've grown For now, I leave you with flowers which I recall you not caring much for Another quiet birthday to pass, rest easy,  & please forgive me for my constant visits, expect many more... ='] Source: https://sofurry.com/s/J1OG9wX1
