Deeper meanings....
A True Friend. -- by -Emptiness-
Once, I had,
A friend so true.
Who stood by me,
Through all the blues.
But then, I was,
Naive and young,
And treated him,
Much worse than dung.
In need, I’ll call,
Else I’d ignore –
I didn’t treasure,
What was before.
Then came that day,
Another I saw.
Cast him away,
Out of the door.
I played and laughed,
Without remorse.
While he endured,
Winter’s full force.
Hungry and cold,
He roamed the streets,
Trying his best,
To make ends meet.
Who could’ve foreseen,
What was to come.
To that same fate,
Did I succumb.
My wealth I lost,
To those I trusted.
I pled for help,
But my friends scattered.
In debt, alone,
Without a hope,
Wanting to end
All with a rope.
But just when none,
Would heed my plea,
He took my hand,
And walked with me.
He wagged his tail,
And danced like a clown.
He cheered me on,
When I was down.
He gave me strength,
To stand again.
And gave his all,
Without complaint.
To him I owe,
All that I’m now.
A faithful friend,
My shepherd hound.
Inspired by a story I heard... Very touching.... Though not as extreme as the one in this poem, but nonetheless.... Lets just say I couldn't sleep till 6am, thinking about it... wahhaaaa... Of course not yesterday nite, else I couldn't possibly still be blogging now -- I'd be sleeping now =)
