Friends

They are treasures, such a delight Taking you from gloom into light If you have feeligs of despair Friends comfort you, they will be there They are like stars shining so bright They won't leave, whatever your plight Giving you wings to soar in flight They will always have time to spare They are treasures They will never do things for spite They tell if you are wrong or right It's always good to have them near True friends are gems, precious and dear Shining for you in darkest night They are treasures 8-6-2022 Friendship Poetry Contest Sponsor: Beata Agustin

I found the essence of your thoughts in these lines: It's always good to have them near True friends are gems, precious and dear... So true and well conveyed in this difficult to execute form. Best to you, Joesph.
