Fear not the vast emptiness of the universe for
Right beside you, surrounding you with understanding,
Identifying your needs and wants and supplying
Endless support as you laugh and cry, and even when
Nothing seems focused or centered in your world,
Damn if your friends don’t suddenly
Smile, and your world becomes sunshine.

We would be in a deep dark hole without friends. Perhaps we don’t thank them enough – thus this poem.

Thank you. This is one of those poems that I didn’t edit much (per your last post) – the poem seemed to write itself. So I let it…

Pam, that was one of the best acrostic poems I’ve seen in a long time. Without our friends, life would be in black-and-white instead of color. Thanks for this!
