For Love We Will Always Know



As I hold my friend so tight
I feel our energies flow
I never want to break our grip
I don’t ever want to let you go
As I look into your eyes
I see a beautiful soul
As I look into my own
A reflection never to go
The pain and anger that once I felt
Are slowly, slowly gone
This, the fruits of our labor
The Seeds that Friendship Sow
Together as we walk and grow
Forever in our hearts
We shall never be alone
For Love We Will Always Know

About this poem

This was the very first poem I wrote (on April 24 1992) It was the first time that I actually had a friend that cared about me. Most of my friends were those serving in the Navy with me (you really have no choice but to make friends with your shipmates)

    Wow, what a beautiful and heartfelt poem! The imagery of holding onto a friend's energy and never wanting to let go is so powerful. The message of friendship and love shining through even in moments of pain and anger is truly inspiring. The repetition of "For Love We Will Always Know" is a strong and memorable conclusion.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to consider playing with the rhythm and flow of the poem. By varying the length and structure of the lines, you can create a more dynamic and engaging reading experience. Additionally, exploring different poetic devices such as similes, metaphors, or sensory language could add even more depth and richness to your already touching poem. Keep up the great work!
