A very touching and beautiful tribute to that one true friend who will always be there and stand by you. Such a friendship is rare and should be treasured.
I think that this would be a wonderful gift to give to that one true friend if words cannot be expressed on how they are appreciated.
Regards,
Mary

Beautiful poem. You are right. Friendwhip like that is hard to find and if you have it, you are one of the lucky ones. I have such one such friend. I've had other but they have gone on to a better place. I'm thankful to still have one. I like the rhyme pattern you used with this. It flows beautifully.

"How fortunate if you have one true friend
who'll stand with you and by you 'til the end."
Those words are so true. Your poem is very well done. Easy to read.

    You are welcome. I'm going to see a real good friend on Friday that I haven't seen for two years.

    Wonderful! I just had a great visit with my youngest son, the only one I have left. I was a wonderful day. I hope yours will be great, too.

And I'm so thankful for friends like you, Yvonne!
Appreciate you teaching me Nancy's form and for using it well to show us and define what a "true friend" is really like. You're such a blessing to me and others here!

Yvonne,

How sweet! This was a precious poem devoted to the idea of friendship and how it can definitely make life more special AND endurable. I have learned that the hard way, myself.

Though I enjoyed your poem very much, I was quite intrigued by your notes. I read your description and went immediately to your notes - which offered... not much ... *smile* I wonder if you meant to provide the name of this poetry form? I couldn't remember the name, myself. (No surprise there.) I enjoyed this post quite a lot, otherwise. Thanks a bunch! You always please!

    Thank you. Yes, I was remiss in posting in my author notes. It's called A Quickstep Duo and the instructions are:
    Two five-line stanzas with syllable count of 10, 10, 8, 8, 10,
    and rhyme scheme of a,a,b,b,a.

This is so sweet, and the accompanying artwork is adorable. This is a lovely form, and the rhyme pattern is great. You describe the delights of having a true friend. They are a blessing. As you mention in your second stanza, a friend will stand by you and love you as you are. Beautiful poem. judi

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost a dear friend a few years ago, and it's hard. Thank you for reviewing.

Delightful and very touching! You have done a splendid job with this.

This is my favorite part. Angels come in all shapes and sizes, colors and kinds. I have an angel of my own and am thanking her now!
