We all have friendships that pass,
And friendships that last,
The one that pass aren't meant to be remembered,
The ones that last are to be treasured.
Some may come & some may go,
Some, just to make life flow,
Some may stay a while longer,
Just to indulge in your warmth,
And, make themselves stronger.
Others still, will come to take a look,
Just to peek at what's in this book.
Then, there are those who don't mean to impose,
They just want a feel of what this friendship would propose.
This, is an ongoing cycle we face,
As people of this magnificent human race,
But, during each of life's cycles,
And, during each phase,
We must of the past let go & erase.
Then, What are True Friends? You say,
It's having someone by your side,
Through the good times & the bad,
One who is there to uplift you,
When you are hurting or feeling sad,
friends, who protect you & your interests,
Ones not seeking any benefits,
Ones who are loyal & don't betray trust,
Ones who know confidentiality is a must.
The ones who allow you to share their warmth,
And make you stronger,
The ones who do not impose,
But enjoy the vibe this friendship does propose.
The ones who seek no vengeance,
But simply enjoy the aura of your company, charm & intelligence.
The ones with that special knack,
Who know just when to smack,
You, with all that you, from this friendship require,
Including sense, to help straighten you from whatever to squire.
The ones who seek no profit or gain,
The ones who pray for blessings to rain.
True friends are a very rare find,
True friends are always sure to leave the past behind.
True friends help each other grow,
With the seeds of peace, love, kindness, humility, joy & laughter they sow.
true friends aren't always spot on,
But sure are someone you can count on.
ones, who despite life's fxxx -ups,
Remain for a lifetime by your side,
And, help enjoy life's ride.
