Best Friends 
There are people
you meet in Life
who touch you in such a way,
you feel you've always known themTheir warmth & their caring
covers you
like a warm blanket
on a bitter night.They can make you smile
when the tears were just about to fall .
They can make you laugh
when yourWorld
is caving in around you .The whispered
Secrets of your Souls
fall upon each other
& are tucked , gently , away
to be kept in understanding hearts ,They are there for you
as you are there for them,
in Good Times & in Bad .
Your Successes & your Failures,
never piling up so much
you can't see one another
for who you really are .There are no suggestions made
without true caring ,
no judgements handed down
without Best Interests at heart.
But The Trust remains The Bond
which holds you two together.Through the times
when Life must take you elsewhere,
their Spirit stays with you
till you come Home again.
And , then , it's like you've never
been Away.Sometimes
they live next door,
sometimes
they live WITH you .
Sometimes
you've never even seen their face
or heard their voice
but have come to know them
from their words on your screen .
No matter.
They are called
Best Friends
& there is nothing in The World
that compares to them !© 1999 L. E. Weyts
