Sam Poem by Ben Littlechild

She who is the one I tell my secrets, my pains and fears

She who is there to help me through my joy and tears

To guide me through the day and its strife,

She’s not a lover, or a wife

A soul mate, a friend, some one I can trust till the end of my life.

Always there for a friend in need,

Never a criticism to seed

But love for a friend to grow and flourish

A person’s confidence to strengthen and nourish

For she is the one that I can rely upon

Worth more to me than gold in the tonne

Some one that about me gives a damn

My true friend Sam.
