When you're trying to do that which doesn't seem to want to get done... Friends
When you're looking for help in finding that special someone...Friends
When you're struggling with the overwhelming burden of day to day life.... Friends
When you need an encouraging word due to difficulties beyond your ability.... Friends
When you need just a little lift after your spirits have been strained... Friends
When you're lonesome for that special connection that requires no demands... Friends
When times are tough and you've hit solid walls in every direction you've turned... Friends
When you need a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, a word of advise or praise... Friends
When you're about to explode with excitement over some event that's to good to keep to yourself... Friends
What would life be without..... Friends?

About this poem:
My list of "Friends" seems to be growing since turning to the internet for an otherwise boring social life due to being a workaholic. This poem is written to acknowledge the importance of those special people in our lives! Thanks to all of you who are, and those of you who will become my..... 'Friends'. John
Lovely write, from a lovely man. Thanks john for being a true friend!!!!

A friend will be by your side...When a lover is long gone.

And your words of friendship are truly from the heart of a friend. Everyone I trust is per-Swaded.
Funny how an 'old' submission is sometimes resurrected to new life! I'm glad this oldie but goodie is being given a second look over! You guys are fantastic folks!! Thanks for the encouraging comments. Jim.... you've got your work cut out for you my friend!! Keep that imagination running strong with those Clever Castle Contributions!

cannot mail you.blocked. kindly get your facts right before you intervene in a so called brawl. i have never faced such a barrage of profanities ever (and the person who wrote them, i have never even heard of let alone interacted with) until he plonked on my stuff and started shooting off.
hoping you understand what i mean. thanks

Hi John,
That's what it's all about. For what it's worth I sincerely appreciate your friendship. Cheers mate
I'm blessed by all the comments that each of you have made to my 'old' poem about friendship! Thanks to you all for your support and continued 'friendship'. To the one individual that has mentioned being blocked.... I have not taken steps to block anyone on my profile from corresponding with me, unless at some point in time, there was absolute non-sense being delivered to my in-box, which has happened like only twice in the 7 years or so that I've been active here on Connectingsingles. I apologize for any unintentional 'blockage' for which I am not aware.

Wow! I must have drank a bit to much root beer last night.... I'm really having a hard time figuring out these latest comments. Oh well.... someone sounds happy and that's all that matters!
Hi, swade777, Somehow, I managed to miss this poem that was posted two years ago! So happy that it recently made its way back to the top. What would life be without..... Friends? Difficult and lonely, for sure. I am so thankful for mine who make each day a greater pleasure.
