Friends Are Gems To Keep Poem by LLDr. Gyd

20+ years ago
When I first kissed life
And got my first best friend
I wept and wailed
Knowing not valentine 2013 was so near
And friends like you would be so dear.

10+ years ago
When I last saw elementary
When I thought
And sought, I had the best friend then
I still wept and wailed
For fear of loosing them too soon
Knowing not valentine 2013 was so near
And friends like you would be so dear.

4+ years ago
When I was first blessed graduation
Again I cried
This time on nostalgia
And but for a future so fierce
And maturity, mine another fear
Knowing not valentine 2013 was so near
And friends like you would be so dear.

24- hours ago
A new dawn broke
Over my little flower of a heart
Where new friends have settled
And old ones have withered away
Yet now I fear nor cry not
For my giddy heart is at a rest dot
Knowing now that valentine 2013 is herein so deep
And friends like you are precious gems to keep.
