This poem is amazing, I love the way the stanzas flow so well together. I think it's important for friends to always know they have eachothers backs. Keep writing at 4 am because this poem is awesome. 5/5 great job hun xo

It could rhyme a little better in some parts but then the stanza:

'And when you cry, never be afraid
I will listen as you speak your mind
You and me, on this painful crusade
When you break, I will fall behind'

Was amazing and it blew me away. Very well written indeed, keep them coming!

Good job

This is a very endearing poem I liked it. Your flow was well done your images vivid and your message powerful well done Plot121

Rest your weary eyes on my shoulder
Wrap my arm around your heaving chest
We can reflect upon our hurt when older
You will always be a welcome guest
^^wow...amazing amazing amazing Jane.. I love the love and the faithfulness that you opened up for a long lasting friendship/from the very 1st stanza!

Long days, and even longer nights
Look me in the eyes and please believe
I will help set these things to rights
You know that I could never leave
^^^^^JANE..the poem is flowing so well..i just love the way it's rhyming ..I love the care in ur words.
and the simplicity.

Like soldiers, I have seen what you saw
Someone in this world feels the same
Know a smile will love each lasting flaw
It takes time, but listen for your name
^^:) loved this stanza a lot a lot ..i love the comparison .. and the wording.. and when i finished the stanza which is after this one..I had no idea why this was down voted !!

We wait in line for the calling hour
Hold my hand, I will stand beside you
Lift your chin; you need not cower
I know what you have been through
^^well yes, this stanza gave goosebumps ..I was able for once..to be touched by a friendship poem..which spoke deep emotions. A stanza that poetically spoke how u DO know this friend of yours VERY well..

If we can make it past this awful night
Then we can make it through anything
^^^very positive ..spirit lifting

When you stumble, it will be all right
I can carry you until the end, little wing
^^this was very tender ..and i couldnt help but smile. and wish that my friends think of me and for me..the way you did for lizz.

Of all the poems I have read I may never forget "What if we tried"Elisabetta

by Michael D Nalley
You shared a faithful smile with us, as each new day dawned.
Every step of the way, by the way, and somehow beyond.
The rhythm of your heart knows no end, only seasons.
Though we may be apart, must we dwell upon reasons?

If we asked, "what if we tried" while we take it all in stride.
We're humbled, I must confide, by what we find inside.
With each shining star we know the darkness will pass.
Though we may try to capture time, like sand in a glass.

A tiny falling grain of sand to eternity is not so great.
Yet, by the time we say good-bye, it always seems too late.
The harmony of "heavenly bodies" sing a constant song.
You're forever in our thoughts, so we may only say so long.
