The Value of Long Term Friendships
By Grant Goodman
One of my New Years resolutions was to keep in contact with my long term friends. Friends are so valuable and great to have around. As many of you know I am a poet, and I love reading poetry. Yesterday I was reading a wonderful poem by W.B. Yeats called: The Lover Pleads with His Friend for Old Friends Though you are in your shining days,
Voices among the crowd
And new friends busy with your praise,
Be not unkind or proud,
But think about old friends the most:
Time's bitter flood will rise,
Your beauty perish and be lost
For all eyes but these eyes This is a beautiful poem and it expresses what I was feeling when I made my resolution. This is a great example of a poem that crystallises human experience. I value my old friends because they see the inner beauty not the outward appearance. |

I am not much into poetry, but you're right - that one's good.
Thank you for reminding me to stop and think about friends and their untold value.
Thanks for sharing.
