Worthy of My Friends

Worthy of My Friends

A Poem by Tate Morgan
"

Through path and switch with company skipping along the winding road I pass food and accompany with he whom life seldom bestowed

Dave and Jason


To walk the roads of soul strewn streets

with all thoughts we know of living

Leaves us lonesome for others feats

finds sharing to come from giving

 

Through path with switch and company

skipping along the winding road

I pass food and accompany

with he whom life seldom bestowed

 

In those who share my few comforts

won't you join me in life's amends
For as long as I walk this earth

may I be worthy of my friends

Author's Note

Tate Morgan
To all who have known the trials of a life beset with tribulation. I would just like to say the things that make life worth living are not to be found in pursuit of wealth. I never remembered anyone fondly for the station they held in life.True wealth for me is held within the hearts of those I have loved and who dared to love me.

Life would be unbearable without our friends, whose souls, if we're truly lucky, mirror ours. I love the nostalgia and wisdom your poem evoked in me dear author. Lovely writing :)

Awe Cherrie you are too sweet thank you Amore
I agree with the sentiments of your poem. Your last two lines say it all really. I have never been greatly impressed by people of wealth or position - friendship should be earned. I'd rather be wealthy than poor, but I am neither (in the conventional sense), so that's OK. True friends are a treasure for life... and even beyond. I enjoyed the read!

Wow. That is worth true emulation and passing forward: "Take less than you give." Thanks, afresh.

Hi Tate,
First of all I love the photo..Is it of you and you friends? Yes of course I see that now as I reread your poem...
And, the photo went along so well with your wonderful poem.. The title is oh so perfect.
I remember quite well being young and waiting for the weekend to appear.. Seemed to take forever...I counted the minutes.. Now, and for at least the past 30 odd years my time seems to fly by.. Am I happier and doing what I want..so time just evaporates?? I think so...at least for me.
Having great friends adds to the quality of ones life..Loving and being loved is ever so important.

I’ll do that. Hi to try to do new things wrote my first poem at 47 years old
You express your longings & reminisces with a ton of relatable details . . . like certain sounds, flavors, songs, pastimes . . . all the familiar ideas that conjure up a sweet melancholy concoction! You are blessed to be worthy of your friends (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

thanks roarke.we think alike
pretty cool sentiments well said Tate...glad you are posting .. i have missed your presence here ... i have seen the pic of you three before but the poem is a little different isn't it? the humility in your closing lines is a beacon sir ... i think to be worthy of our friends is not typically our first thoughts ... at least in the beginnings of friendships ... your note is also very inspiring .. :)
