Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
My friends, whose kindness doth their judgments blind"


My friends, whose kindness doth their judgments blind,
Know you, say they, the dangers where you run,
Which zeal hides from you, but compassion
Tells us!? You feel the blow, the smart we find!.
I know it well, and as I call to mind,
This is the bill: dearness, affection,
Friends, fortune, pleasure, fame, hope, life undone,
Want, prison, torment, death, shame--what behind!?
Is then my sense transel'mented to steel,
That neither this, nor that, nor all, can feel,
Nor can it bend my mind, which theirs doth break!?
Not so, nor so; for I am not insensate,
But feel a double grief that for Christ's sake
I have no more to spend, nor have spent that!.

Our Friendship Grows

Our friendship grows, but I have one regret!.
It was not planted sooner, watered more,
and trimmed with care I should have shown before
my negligence increased into a debt
forgiven, yet I shall not soon forget!.
Our friendship grows, and I again implore
the Lord to bless our friendship and restore
our love into a greater friendship yet!.
Our friendship, planted, watered, trimmed, and stayed
in soil good, shall grow from grounded roots
in Jesus Christ's own love, which cannot fade,
displayed upon that tree, and none refutes
our debt of love eternally was paid
so we may bear these good and loving fruits!.

I really like this poem by Seamus Heaney, about him with his friends when they were very young!. Unfortunately it's only 13 lines - http://books!.guardian!.co!.uk/greatpoets/s!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
