“Commentary updated January 26th, 2013.  It is with joy in praises of the Lord that I render happiness in being joined by my two sisters of the heart in their revelations of the dark corners of my town.  Blessings this day to Lorene and Holly, my sisters of my heart.”

 

 

Thru Seventy years of life on this world

there has been a few lessons of life

that were difficult to learn.

 

Knowing the difference

between true friendships and Fair Weather Friends

was one of the hardest lessons of all.

 

In  discovering that vast difference in friendships

I believe we live in a form of self-denial

in realizing the differences.

 

I am now painfully aware

that the best friends I ever had

are now long dead.

 

Thank you Lord

for being to me

the friend that no other is.

 

As my Father once related to me

“One could live a lifetime and be able to count

the true friends they would have had

on one hand.”

 

I have been blessed in my lifetime

to have had two of those real friends

with now my Lord

as my constant Third.
