FRIENDSHIP'S BONDS
​
Stay safe my very dearest friend
Stay safe until the very end
With luck all will be well one day
Till then I just would like to say
​
Your friendship's meant so much to me
In good and bad times so you see
Though times are really hard right now
These days will pass and then somehow
​
We will meet talk and laugh with joy
Knowing that nothing could destroy
The bond of friendship that we share
Keep well stay safe because I care.
Sometimes in life you have the good fortune to meet people who show you that you can have the strength to overcome adversity no matter what it might be.
This poem is to say "thank you D & J" for giving me the special gift of hope when we met at Thoresby recently. Beverley
FORTITUDE
I was full of admiration after hearing
the words you said
And I simply can't forget them they keep
on running through my head
That you could show emotion to people
that you'd only just met
Shows the fortitude you must have needed
in the past years and yet
Something else that clearly rang through
was the support you'd been given
From the lady sitting by your side who's
hand squeeze had not been hidden
So thank you for sharing with us because
you have given me the hope
That no matter what fate may throw at me
somehow, I'll manage to cope.
