Proven Friend #OctPoWriMo Day 15

Proven Friend

A Pantoum

To show my thanks, would flowers be enough?

For she’s the one who helps me lift my load.

As single moms, we both know life is tough

It’s easier to tread this stretch of road.

For she’s the one who helps me lift my load.

When otherwise I’d feel I was alone.

It’s easier to tread this stretch of road.

Her words bring comfort when we’re on the phone.

When otherwise I’d feel I was alone.

When visiting, I know she’s there for me.

Her words bring comfort when we’re on the phone.

With love she demonstrates sincerity

And when we talk, I know she’s there for me.

As single moms, we both know life is tough

With love she demonstrates sincerity

To show my thanks, would flowers be enough?

For my dear friend Liz, who would not expect me to write a poem for her.

First she was my friend. Then she began to help me with my dad.

That is a true friend.
