The One I Can See

by Bobbie J. Brown - Scorpio

Friends....
Are not found so easily.
Some will come and continue to go,
but there is one I can see
who is the best of all to know.
She seems to understand
by looking through my eyes.
Even when I believe she can't,
I am surprised!
Just when I feel I've failed so,
she helps me see reasons to believe.
In her path I follow
to find the friend she sees in me.
I can expect honesty
in all the advice I come to request.
And if it would somehow hurt me,
her support is still the best.
I wasn't sure about her at first.
Thinking I would
let her down, I feared the worst.
Now I realize -- to disappoint her, I never could.
I would do anything for her
because I love her so.
She's the greatest I've discovered,
she is my hero.
Friends....
Are sometimes hard to keep.
Some will come and continue to be
like the one that I can see,
she's my friend -- Jodi!

Reason for writing:

    It took me a long time to find a friend that really likes me for who I am.  So many people are only fair weather friends.  I am at a time in my life when I have found those who take you as you are, faults & all.  I wrote this poem for my friend, Jodi, who is exactly what a real friend should be!
