Poem Title:
Poem
They are like night and day Always there, Even when not seen, I know they’ll be here Treat me like a brother, oh how much they care How many are they? Who do stick around when we try and fail? To help us through the day Looking beyond the veil And not shun us, to betray or turn their back in the face of dismay What can I say? God bless and a million thanks! I feel like I owe them a hundred favors But they say that they owe me a hundred favors instead Often when the rainy days come To them I run as I would to nine one, one. When I have nothing but problems and empty pockets Unlike some, they don’t cough up Nor act like there are crocodiles in their pockets Again I say thanks, but even more kind is the reply I get “It’s nothing but a mere drop in the bucket” For real, my heart gets filled with joy Coz honestly it was more than just a mere drop My great homey told me Real friends don’t count favors But even if I tried I’d fail, I couldn’t keep count Which doesn’t mean I forgot Though they did for me and forgot about it Expecting no rewards, no refunds Simply expressing brotherly love A reason valid enough for me to value our friendship beyond any price So we roll together, don’t be surprised We get along like we’re from the same tribe, Sharing the same blood, creatures of the same God With or without, we don’t judge Like a tennis ball against the wall; In two ways we let the love bounce I know one who stood for me to take a punch Exceedingly grateful for every bit of love Because little is much and much is just little multiplied Never feel like you haven’t done enough Because to me every little bit counts
