Your writes always lift my heart and give both my mind and heart new glow - so I thought I should tell you so. You always express such kindness and humility, that set an example and reminds me to be the same. Well done. I count you as a friend :)

Your poem is direct and to the point. Speak up and tell your friend how you feel, no beating around the bush.

The rhythm and flow of your poem is good. It is easy to read, the message clear.

Take care,
Rhonda

Hello Jay,

This one is so true. A new friend is like finding a treasure. Actually, sometimes they can be worth more.

Your rhyming and rhythm are perfectly done. I really enjoy the great advice you offer to your readers in each and every one of your poems.

Keep writing Jay...Take care...Bill

Jaybird1,
Your words are full of truth. A honest friend is
priceless. Life is challenging and friends are needed
to help navigate through troubling times.
When you have lost good friends through time;
you really learn to appreciate the ones you have.
Thank you for sharing.
Blessings,
Richie b

This lovely poem is truly a breath of fresh air. Its message is simple but profoundly meaningful. Every day, people (me, for example) just obliviously pass up the chance to make a friend or to tell friends what they mean.

A very well-written poem and good advice. When we found a friend that us true and honest we must hold on to them for dear life, because true friends are surely hard to find.

Hello, Mr Jade bird,

Beautiful poem and wise advice. You always write well and clearly. I hate poems that are hard to understand. Yours are always straight from the heart. My kind :)

It certainly sounds good to me. All of my old friends have passed and being a shut in I don't have the opportunity to make new friends. I have my children though and they mean the world to me. FanStory friends take up a bit of my day. May I say you brighten my day with your poems. Well done, Bill. Have a lovely week. Nancy:)

-Your note and poem
are appreciated, jaybird.
-It is important to have
new friends, especially
if they are "kind and humble."
-I like the line about the
"storms and strife" as well
as the concluding couplet.
-Well done. Hope you had a
good 4th of July, and have
a great day and week ahead!

Hello Jaybird,
I pray you are having a wonderful day, today. I like your poem, "Making a Friend." It's so pleasant to make a friend, even a friend for life. We should never denied a person wanting to become your friend. We have a friend in Jesus, one who will never leave us. Your rhyming of your end words are nicely done. You are so right, a friend will/can be with your for life. Well-done.
