Friends

There are friends for various reasons

Though some last just a season

Keep the ones close by

Who can hear you when you sigh

 

Fair weather friends will be all around

They’ll try to close in when you are being crowned

But they will surely slip away

When you actually need them, just to stay

 

True friends are those who pick your vibes

And protect you from barbs and jibes

In your absence, they’ll even fight for you

Theirs is a friendship you’ll never rue

 

Treasure these gems

And their pain also share

For these are the ones

Who care, and are rare..

 

May you be blessed

With friends who are true

For these are so precious

But alas, so few
