Friend

ode to faith and friends

if you believe in me
ill believe in you and
then we can believe in each other and be friends

A reminder of good times and what not to throw away, when to relax and when to progress....
...and then if we each wore a watch..
we could keep perfect time
always know where the other was no matter how far apart there would be no distance no matter what the other would doing or what time it was.

and if we had sat in room
and sat back to back
or at opposite ends of the globe been throne through the wilds over oceans and back...
i could forget the other was there
forget the world...
fall asleep and dream easy so relaxed.

and as we wake each day smile and the sun we see inside blue skies we remember the good times and smile before we have barely had the chance to open our eyes.
Then as time dwindles onward and nothing unsaid has been left,
i can live on in contentment,
in the minds of my children.. long after I'm dead.
Realize in the end this is one with whom i sympthize...
forever yours truly.

Sincerely

Friend.

if one finds and keeps just one truly good friend .. it is a gift of a lifetime and something to be very grateful for ... our busy lives and material goals and aspirations tend to rend real friendships ... but we are out there aren't we .. i like the wistful dreaming quality i feel from this ... the use of the word "whilst" contradicts the otherwise conversation style of your poem in my opinion .. couple editing things to consider "...what the other would doing" ..should be ...would be doing ... and "and if we had sat in room" may be redundant ... consider simply ...if we sat in... i love the musing on friendships .. they are so valuable and precious in life .. fortunate to have just one in a whole lifetime .. i especially like this:
"...and if we each wore a watch
we could keep perfect time" ..i really like the personification .. could be expanded on easily me thinks ... love the importance in the theme .. the simplicity in the title is catchy says i! thanks for sharing ...right here at the Cafe'

A beautiful description of a true friend, nicely done, I must add.

[Simbles]

I'm curious, what is it that you meant by 'I must add'

[Onlyme]

Must add. meaning, nearly forgot to say nicely done basically.
