My friend and I go all around;
together, we are always found.
Sometimes we run and shout and play;
sometimes we sit upon the ground.
My friend and I could talk all day
or just be quiet. Either way,
we always find enough to do;
we always find enough to say.
My friend and I are tried and true...
when skies are gray, when skies are blue.
We don't give up. We laugh. We cry.
We love each other, through and through.
We're lucky ones, my friend and I.
We watch the golden hours fly
and earn what only time can buy,
and earn what only time can buy.

ReplyDeleteVery touching post. Love the two little girls on the swing. La
ReplyDeleteHi Sue . That's what good friends are for .
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are wonderful and your point well taken! The older I get, the more friends mean to me...just like my soul sister over at "Whispering Pines"....we are not blood related (married to cousins) but we are truly connected and more so as we grow older together. It means the world! Good Post!
ReplyDeleteTerrific, as usual. I still find it amazing that you can find so many neat pictures to go along with your poetry, especially today, when you had to depict so many different friends. Good job.
ReplyDeleteYou get an "A" on your "F" post.
ReplyDeleteLoved the poem and pics, especially the little old Dollies at the end! My Sista/Bff Donna said it all...it's a cold world without good friends and I'm blessed with having her! Sweet post~
ReplyDeleteYou said it, Sue! Thanks.
ReplyDelete:-)
Heartwarming! I now want to run, swing, bounce on those ball things and take nap. Oh and hug someone.
ReplyDeleteI love this! And the pictures of old friends really rock!!

ReplyDeletewow,
ReplyDeletethese shots truly showcase friendship,

fulfilling words.
Sue, you are amazing. What a beautiful poem you have written! Great choice of photos to illustrate your beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and commenting on my meager F-post.
I don't like using photos from the Web, when I know I have photos of my own. So I have revised my F-post slightly.
I would like to invite you to revisit my F-post whenever you have the time and inclination.
Best wishes,
Anna
Anna's Alphabe-Thursday-F: REVISED!!!
This was amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt made me teary eyed.
It made me miss some of my friends who are long gone...and some who have not been gone for long.
Miss Sue.
You really touched my heart here.
May I send a copy of this to a far away friend going through some awful things?
Thank you for linking to Alphabe-Thursday. You are a true artist with words.
