This poem was written after my best friend and I grew apart, as even the best of friends do. Though I thought that our friendship was at its end, I realized that true friendships last forever. We never grew apart at heart. Because friends are like flowers.
It may not be the same,
But some things never change.
I feel it and I trust it,
I still believe in forever
Because that's what my heart knows.
Memories are the dew drops on our petals
That re-open the buds that have closed.
Flowers wilt as seasons change,
Though they grow a little more with rain.
The sun will shine when in need,
And left behind, a precious seed.

I was really impressed and touched about the message of the poem. It may be a simple poem but it has deep meaning within. I like it since it relates me with my friend.

I love this poem! It reminds me of one that I learned as a small child. "Flowers that bloom in the springtime, fade in the early fall. But, the lovely flower of friendship, never fades at all" I would love to learn more about the above poem.

A collegue just left us. She was senior and worked on a different floor. But just today I shared what an insipiration she's been even for the few chances we had worked together. And well, we talked. Her being more experienced and mature having worked several places and years longer shared what I would sum up in this poem which i sent her. . still waiting for her reply but thanks for capturing, and aptly so, so many words I would have kept to myself.

I was searching for a poem to include in a card to my friend and this was the poem that touched my heart. We've been going through a hard time lately, which has left much distance between us. So I wait for the buds to re-open again. She was my sunshine. Without her, there is so much rain.

I found this poem through google and thank you. My best friend of 5 years I think is finding a new life for himself. I'm finding it pretty hard cause we used to practically live out of each others pockets and I miss him heaps! I so wish it was back to the good ol days but somehow I do not think it is going to ever be like that again. Ho hum - I wish I could say something to my friend but what to say.

I searched long and hard to find words to share with my best friend on father's day. This hit it on the nail, because our friendship turned into a relationship, which now is trying to turn back into a friendship. It worked! Thank You
