Gary R. Ferris Poems

Back to Poems Page

Friends are good to have;

To enjoy life and play.

Closer than a brother;

They promise not to walk away.

*****

Without them we are lonely;

And life would be so sad.

In joy and time of pleasure;

Many friends I’ve had.

*****

Oh, in the good times;

They will be by your side.

There to walk beside you;

Running stride for stride.

*****



When you’re on top,

They love you the most.

Of your many accomplishments,

They will brag the most.

*****

But when the clouds gather,

And it begins to rain.

You will be left alone,

With no friend to share the pain.

*****

Where did they go,

All those who cared?

Where are they now?

You’re alone and scared.

*****

Jesus once said;

“Like sheep they would scatter”.

When you’re on the bottom,

You no longer matter.

*****

Father, please forgive them;

For they know not what they do.

Take a look at yourself;

What kind of friend are you?
