Friends are for keeps
even when one weeps
Smiles and tears are shared
for this is why they were paired
~
close together or far apart
they are always in each others heart
sharing stories, recipes and pranks
this is friendship, that you gives you such thanks
~
Like a tree’s canopy spreading in its growth
friendship expands and strengthens for both
little bumps in the road can be shared
smoother when you know your friend cared
~
grumbling about the weather
jousting with a feather
dancers on a show
uhm.. stars you know
~
offering tips
helping with blips
learning and nourishing
the friendship flourishing
~
but when the bump in the road
a mountain becomes
friends gather
to tear it down
~
to be leaned upon
to cry with
to laff with
to fight together
~
To share strength
to listen
and to hug
but mostly to be a friend.
~
because close or far
here or there
with a friend
you are never alone
