JUST LET ME BE YOUR FRIEND

Topic: happypoetry





"JUST LET ME BE YOUR FRIEND"

When I was 3, small, and not very tall.
I loved creatures of all sizes, shapes, and form.
No one taught me this,
Was just natural for me, was just "Norm"

Butterflies, grasshoppers, snakes,
birds, kitties, puppies, anything alive.
I doctored them when they were sick,
With lots of love, helped them survive.

One day I ventured down an alley
Located behind my house.
There I found cement "Ash Pits" all around.
They were the best "stopping places" in town!


This is an "ashpit" where you burn your trash.

I'd catch everyone early, as they emptied their trash.
I met all the neighbors in one big "Flash!"
We'd visit, laugh, and sometimes cry.
I found I loved people!
It didn't make a difference to me why?

I never saw their outsides
Nor the clothes they would wear.
I sensed their "insides."
Their hearts, their souls, and I'd care!

"Just Let Me Be Your Friend!"
Was the message I emitted to all!
I'm not too little to have friends.
I may not be very wise,
But my heart is filled with love,
If only you would open your eyes!

Seems strange somehow now.
As I recall those years gone by.
I'm 64 years older, and with a sigh.....
I can honestly say, I haven't changed.
I've been rearranged, but my heart is still in tact.

"Just Let Me Be Your Friend."
To love you, to care, to always be there.....
My heart is still filled with love.
The best way to keep it there,
Is to give it away, and to share.

And so my dear friend.
Little did you know when you paid your fee.
You'd find a True Friend.
Out of your past, an Old Friend.
One to last, one, just like me!

Wonderful poem. A true friend , hard to find and even harder to keep. I am so pleased that you have re-found your childhood friend may you keep the bond that you tied so long ago.

This was so beautiful. All of your writing shows how special you are.

Thank you for sharing this, that first picture reminds me of my Grandmothers house and her precious Hummels.
