This weekend I will be visiting with old friends and family as well as seeing friends at church on Sunday. As I thought about what I was going to write for Thankful Thursday, I decided I wanted to express how thankful I am for friends new and old, those related to me by blood and those who are connected to me by shared experiences and faith.
I decided to write this as a double acrostic because friendship is something that is with us from the beginning of our lives to the end.
friendship
for all my life it’s been my belief
rain or shine, whether near or far
images of love on my heart like graffiti
each memory together reveals love
needing each other to bear our burden
daily desiring friends to be around
sharing our experiences and lives
hoping to be together to our last breath
images of love on my heart like graffiti
painted far beyond skin deep
a double acrostic is perfect for a poem about friendship – well done!
Thanks! Double the friendship seemed like a good idea to me. Peace, Linda
Friends are like angels on earth… enjoy! Great double acrostic!!
I’ve never seen a poem written as a double acrostic. I can only imagine the work involved!
Well done!

Wow Linda! I have never tried a double acrostic . . .you did an amazing job! Loved it! God bless you and your time with friends and family! Yay!
Deb, I’ve only done it once before, when I wrote a poem on Community. I couldn’t do it without wordhippo.com where I can do a search for all words that end in a particular letter.
I’m glad you liked it. Peace, Linda
