A Friend Is Near Poem by Sandra Feldman

The title alone is a poem, and it's an act of faith that always there will be a friend near. I know that feeling when everything seems to be falling apart - but since I've retired I don't encounter it much because I'm not responsible for keeping order in a classroom, in the hallways, in young minds, etc. But your image of the worlds as DISGRACE OF NIGHTMARES is really powerful. Even a quick glance at the day's news confirms it. A headline in today's paper says the body of a missing 6 year-old has been found, obviously a murder victim. How, how can that be? Did Heaven look on and not take his part? as Shakespeare wrote.

Ah, yes, nothing like a true friend. Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing. And if your friend's name were Sharon, I would say Thanks for Sharon.

AMEN
