The End of a Friend
by Ann MillsFriendships come and friendships go -
They seem to go for no apparent reason
But there is a time for every season.
I ask myself, Must this be so?
Familiarity brings me comfort to keep
But in its contempt drags me down to the deep.
Their end is both painful and a relief -
The grief first tears my soul asunder;
The relief then comes on like rain in thunder.
Washing over me
Cleansing my soul
Refreshing my hope
And making me whole.
I say my good-byes and move on.

Great write. Yes, friendships do end at times, why who only knows. It's sad when it does. Friendship is to be cherished and is so precious. One can never have enough friends. |
