What a beautiful job you did, your thoughts flowed so smoothly. I sent this poem to my friends this Valentine's Day because out of all the poems I've read this morning, yours "hit the spot". More power!

I have just reunited with a close friend that I have not seen in 30 years and it seemed as though I saw him yesterday. The Gift of Friends speaks the words that I have not been able to say over the years.

I liked this poem because the words were simple and expressed how I feel about my friends. Thank you for the poem and this site. just found it today and really enjoy reading the poems. The thing I do not like are all the pop ups on this site. Very annoying. Marilyn Lees

WHEN READING YOUR POEM IT REALLY TOUCHED MY HEART. I EMAILED IT TO MY BEST FRIEND AND IT ALSO TOUCHED HERS. WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT THERE AREN'T TOO MANY PEOPLE THAT CAN SAY THEY HAVE A TRUE FRIEND SO IT REALLY IS A GIFT. THANKS SO MUCH.

This is a nice work. The words have feeling and are easy to relate to. Never stop writing poetry. You have a gift to encourage because you have a grateful heart. Well done Lass!

I love the writing that takes you in imagination and emotion to that thing, that place that instance which the author is expressing. I love writing which engages our experiences and links our expectations so that it reaches and resonates in that universal but personal space we call soul. This poem does that superbly.
Jackie
This poem truly describes friendship.
Jenna

I have been asked to produce a short commentary about friendship, and as it is for a group of friends from church, I needed to find something that was inoffensive. this is exactly right! Thank you Karen, and God Bless you for producing such a beautiful poem.
