About the Poem

This was written to thank a friend on a forum of Passions in Poetry for listening, supporting me, cheering me up, and basically, just being there for me during a very trying time in my life. I wanted to do something special to thank him, and, since we're both poets, I thought a poem would be a good way to say, "Thank-you."

A Simple Thank-You, My Friend

Into the dim lit, bare walls of my world,
You entered, bringing light and life to me,
The vivid colors, painted with a swirl
Of wit and charm, of personality,
With tender care, you added comfort, warmth,
And images that line the now bright walls.
I look upon them fondly, bringing forth
A thankfulness that you walk in these halls
With me; our friendship has become a part
Of my world now; it has its special place,
Within my being, life, and in my heart,
Your name hangs right beside your smiling face.
Rememb'ring just how drab these walls had been,
I have to thank you for the light, my friend.

This poem is very touching to me. I have a friend that is moving away, and I guess reality has hit and now its getting to me more and more as the days get closer. So, I sent this poem to her to just let her know how much she has impacted my life and how she will be dearly missed! What a very sweet poem that sums pretty much everything up in very few words!

What your doin in this poem. how your thanking your friend. i think thats great, b/c not alot of pple do that anymore. we now these days take friends for advantage. we need to show our friends that were thankful. not just buying them expensive things. tell them how you feel, because you never know one day you can lose them just like that. they could die on you anytime

Tondra
I voted for this poem because someone has entered my life in my time of lonliness and depression. I'm married and it's not going well at all. I haven't had anyone to talk to, to spend time with, or just put a smile on my face. It feels good to be able to laugh and smile once again and I owe it to this new friend. Thanks for the poem, it had all the right words and expressed everything that I am feeling right now.
Rissa

Tam
This is what I wanted to say to two of my most special friends. One of them just moved away, taking her sweet little baby with her, and the other lives in Germany. Each of them, in her own way, painted my life. They each worked, separately, to draw me out of my little hermit cave, my self-imposed prison, the gilded cage of my own choosing. Each has forced me to *participate* in life, rather than lying and saying I am perfectly content to spend my entire time on this earth *observing* it. Thank you for saying what I could not.
Kristie
I love the way this poem creates a metaphore between friendship and painting bare walls. I am an artist and I found this poem perfect to send to a close friend. Thanks!
