For A Friend

you were the one that was there
you helped me rise up with ease
my poems we would sit and share
for hours we went over all these

time after time again i would sigh
stressed out from all the pain
sometimes i felt like i could die
it was such an emotional drain

but you were always there to hold my hand
tying up my loose poems so proficient
binding them together like a rubber band
you were good at that;being so efficient

so to me you entrusted your skill and well being
for your knowledge passed to me in love
a literary feat that's forever all seeing
so beautiful is this rhyming gift from above

bundled in gold ribbons and red container
saturated with intelligence and thought
like a personal thought overflow retainer
something looked after, always sought

you gave a gift unable to be stolen
for these rhymes and lyrical speech
are bound to one day seem golden
and to some people i hope they reach

a nerve hidden so down deep
that when they read that it;
causes them to severely weep
in their heart it will surely hit

splitting open a dam of tears
flooding each emotional spot
ridding of their personal fears
leaving them smiling red hot

for that they know it can't be taught
but only that it has been sent
the gift of words and acute thought
unable to be bought or rent

and i thank you for the extra push
that had caused me to begin
when everyone told me to shush
i listened to my friend DebraLynn
