Poem
On Friendship To silently support and hold your belief To hold you up when you are consumed by grief To embrace you for all of your idiosyncratic forms To exist with you beyond the societal norms To be born of love and kindness and grace To know every line on your beautiful face To walk beside you over the passage of time To defend you with valour against any crime To believe in your tears as much as your smiles To conceive all of your fears and uniqueness of styles To hold your position when you’re too weak to stand To live with you through the poverty and the grand To scale the heights of your profound achievements To stand up for what’s right in the aftermath of bereavement To go into battle for the honor of your name To embrace you unconditionally through the anonymity and fame To understand your intrinsic emotional complexities To encourage you on your craft, work and dexterity To elevate you beyond your best version of your self To come and save you when you’re in poor health To allow you the freedom to express your true soul To endure the shared process of what it means to grow old To support you on whatever opinion you take on To not transparently agree with you, especially when you’re wrong To hold you accountable for what’s true and what’s right To accompany you through the dark lonely night To give you the comfort you need in a storm To listen to your advice when you advise me and warn To grant your perspective credence and intellectual weight To have your back in a fierce debate To give you insight when you’re faced with troubles To always tell you the truth even if it bursts your bubble To give our friendship the space to become a sacred bond To help you find justice when you feel you have been wronged To encourage your depth and your true voice to flow To allow you to exceed beyond what you already know To inspire your courage to bravely stand tall To rewire your progress and retrieve you from the fall To give you the unconditional comfort of a true friend Who will remain by your side until our time on earth comes to an end The End Copywright Elizabeth Moroz 2023
