Steadfast

This is a revised version of one of my previous poems on 'Friends'. Friends are like gems precious, rare to find, pure and gracious; Friends are like butterflies charming, cheerily fluttering in the garden of our lives, persuading us to positive perceptions, with their wings of hope gleaming; Friends are like glossy stars, steady and bright, embossed perfectly with their yellow-white, to the dreary dark velvet of our minds, adorning them with eternal sparkles of light, inspiring with their deep insights, each one unique of it's kind; Friends are like the filled pages of the year-end autograph book, filling our minds with myriads of memories, as its letters of teen fragments eagerly you look - a glow of warmth reflecting in your smile; Friends are like the poetic picture prompts, waking up our slumbering souls with creative instincts anew, to pen fresh verses on 'Life'.

You dress "friendship" with rich and simile-studded attire, Anitha. It would be an honour to have your name written in my autograph book! ~ Best regards // paul
