...but for eternity

Karyn Indursky

 

I may not be
the most popular
or pretty
or wondrous
or amazing
or incredible
or magnificent
or phenomenal
person
in the world,
but I'm still
here for you.
I'm here
for you
through
thick and thin.
I'm not
only here
to make you
smile and laugh
or just to
catch your
tears upon
my shoulders,
but I'm here
to do both.
I want to
be here
for you
as long
as you will
allow me
to be.
I want to
be here
for you
throughout
the years,
instead of
just being
a milestone
or stepping stone
in your life.
I want to
be here
throughout
the years
to gather
flowers of friendship
and you
will be
the best
one of all.
I want to
be here
for you
throughout
the years
to nurture,
enjoy, cry over
these beautiful
flowers of friendship.
I want you
to walk
with me
in the fields
to see, smell,
feel, touch, taste,
hear our
flowers of friendship
being enjoyed
by ourselves
and others.
I want to
be here
for you
to walk
with in
snow, rain,
sleet, sun,
etc. to feel
joy, pain,
sorrow, hardship,
love, peace,
hate, anger,
integrity, sincerity,
madness, bitterness,
sweetness, kindness,
and so much
more than I
can mention
in just one
moment of
our lives.
I want to
be here
for you
as long
as you're
willing to
let me be
your friend.
I want to
be here
for you
not just for
today or tomorrow,...
but for eternity.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Stacey, I wrote this poem for you because you're very sweet, special, dear, etc. to me. I want you to know and realize that I'm not only your coworker, Mom's friend, and all, but I am also your friend. I'll be your friend as long as you'll let me. So, let's be friends forever because good friends are hard to find and even harder to keep.
