My Best Friend...

~*~*~*~

When I am lost
You are there to
Show me the way

When I am down
You are there to
Comfort me in every way

When I am happy
You are there to
Share that laughter

When I am in tears
You are there to
Wipe them away

When I have succeeded
You are there to
Applaud my triumph

When I am dismayed
You are there to
Uplift my sullen spirit

When I needed a hug
You are there to
Give me the tightest hug

When I needed a kiss
You are there to
Smother me with countless kisses

When I have dreams
You are there to
Help me realize them

You are forever my friend

My ever-dearest friend

My loving and thoughtful friend

My own and my world…

His Downfall

A noble man he was, noted for integrity

He created a fair name and position

In politics that was wicked and dirty

And oft looked upon with much derision

He had on his side strong foundation

Of being a family man with good education

Endowed with a beautiful wife to boot

He had no intention to plunder and loot.

 What avail to his reputation is spouse's beauty

If her empty mind is proud and haughty

When she speaks and acts in nature detriment

To her husband's interests and betterment.

When people mistook her actions as his

The popularity curve soon plunged to abyss

Unknown to him she in every area meddled

Till his political future was totally befuddled.
