Yes, Starlings are a close second.

I hope the Grackles are leaving a lot of manure behind for the grapes . . . ;-)

A Poem of Friendship



We are not lovers because of the love we make
but the love we have
We are not friends because of the laughs we spend

but the tears we save
I dont want to be near you for the thoughts we share
but the words we never have to speak
I will never miss you because of what we do
but what we are together

Nikki Giovanni

"Portrait of a Friend"

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.

Good afternoon Ms. Feather.

To a Friend

I ask but one thing of you, only one,
That always you will be my dream of you;
That never shall I wake to find untrue
All this I have believed and rested on,
Forever vanished, like a vision gone
Out into the night. Alas, how few
There are who strike in us a chord we knew
Existed, but so seldom heard its tone
We tremble at the half-forgotten sound.
The world is full of rude awakenings
And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
Yet still our human longing vainly clings
To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs.

by Amy Lowell

Good morning/afternoon, ms marlowe.

Wonderful poem.


I wrote a poem about friendship some years back. I was able to locate it. I will post it. It's not nearly as good as any of today's postings, but it's mine. :-)

[Soaring Feather]

Friendship

Friendship
In lonely times
there is but one
who warms my heart
just for fun
Who blesses me with smiles and grins
makes it all worth while in the end.

For this one my gratitude
I extol to the multitude
and uphold my loving friend
no matter what to the end...
