Issue 152- "Who'da thunk it?"

Everything by: Heath

Hello, folks. I decided to take a few nights off, as I have had no real inspiration to write anything of interest. Do not fear though...this shall not become a once a month blog again...chew on this for tonight-- a poem for my friend Brooke. Not to be conceited or anything but I don't see how any woman would leave me when I can write poems like this...lol

Brooke Auston Alexus Mitchke

You've e'er been my best friend,

You've cared for me when I cried.

You've held me in thy embrace.

You've reminded me how people love me.

E'en though you are far away

Always you are in my heart.

Ne'er have you gone away,

Ne'er saw you fit to depart.

Ye know mine darkest secrets,

Ye know mine secret dreams...

Ye know how to make me smile

When things be not what they seem.

You've brightened up my future,

You've brightened up my heart.

May there ne'er be a day

When you seek to part.

Thy friendship means so much to me,

You'll never know my love

I hope you find the happiness

I sought to send you from above.

You're in my heart for'ermore

Ne'er more to roam,

If you hurt and need mine help

My heart will be thy home.

I will protect thee till I die,

Keep ye safe from harm.

Ye've taught me more than I might learn

From a million, million books--

Ye've loved me tho at times I wished to die.

You have been my rock, my conscience,

My want, my friend.

For that, I can ne'er repay thee in full.

May you be blessed ev'ryday

Though you may live a thousand years.

Heath Parker Lail, 2/16/06

Wasn't that inspiring? G'night folks...

You are both my best friend, but for different reasons. Brooke and I can talk shop about Psychology, and we have a good deal of history between us, to have never been a couple. You and I are best friends because of all the crap we've shared together and it has cemented us and our friendship. Brooke actually thought that you and I were going to be together following my break-up with Shauna--she almost guaranteed it would come to pass, in fact. To me, that speaks of a true friend (you are as well)...someone who wants only to see me happy and taken care of. Best
