 And 

Love

A SHORT STORY FROM JAN

  i wanted to share it with others, 

God bless ,

 jan..redbird 

I have a friend.

 He's kind of a big guy,

 but

 with a real gentle personality.

 Oh,

 I have seen him get in the odd fight,

 but usually

only if someone provokes him. 

Usually he is the type of friend 

that we all strive to make. 

He is helpful without being asked. 

Despite his size,

 he doesn't throw his weight around 

needlessly. 

My friend

 got beat up today.

 I guess beat up 

isn't

 the right word.

 He got

 cold cocked by a little guy

 who hit him 

when 

he wasn't looking.

 This is not

 the first time.

 Some years ago 

another guy

 up and kicked him in the groin.

 That guy 

paid a terrible price 

for his action, 

but once that was done,

 my friend 

returned to being

 the nice guy he really is.

  He even helped the guy

 that kicked him.

Now,

 the guy 

that hit him today

 wasn't 

as brave as the one

 that kicked him

This guy 

sneaked up and punched him

 right in the face 

when his head was turned

He didn't have the guts

 to stand face to face.

He was not

 the honorable opponent

 that his predecessor was.

The guy 

that hit him today

 was

 a coward, 

who will 

indeed pay a price 

when my buddy finds him.  

I don't think 

this loser realized

 what he was getting himself in for. 

 My friend

 has a black eye today,

 quite a shiner actually, 

and a great deal of pain. 

What the coward

 that hit him

 didn't realize was

that any amount

 of pain 

simply

 serves

 to make my friend

 stronger

His resolve is

 without equal,

 and

 his friends

 have gathered around him.

 My friend

 will be ok

 in a day or two,

 but

I have looked 

into his eyes 

and

 I know 

he will never be the same.

He even 

looks at me 

suspiciously now.

 While I am not responsible

 for what happened to him,

 he looks at me

 like I should have

 done something

I know 

that he doesn't really 

hold me responsible, 

but 

the trust

 will never 

be as complete between us

 as it has been

 until now.  

Please, 

if you see my friend

 have a good word,

 and 

if he makes a mistake - 

be tolerant,

 because you know

 that if you need help 

he will be there.  

My name is

 Canada;

 my friend's name is

 America

God Bless friendship,

 angel hugs 

jan..

kindred.

One day.....  

 If one day you feel like crying..  

 Call me.  

I don't promise that I will make you laugh,  

But I can cry with you.  

 If one day you want to run away-  

 Don't be afraid to call me.  

 I don't promise to ask you to stop...

But I can run with you.  

 If one day you don't want to listen to anyone...  

Call me.  

I promise to be there for you.  

 And I promise to be very quiet.  

 But if one day you call.. 

 And there is no answer...  

Come fast to see me.  

 Maybe I need you.
