A Friend
A friend?!
Friend, oh to what shall I compare thee?
Thou art more lovely in the roughest winds,
Or shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Belching nectarous essence even in the searing sun!.
As iron sharpeneth iron!,
As the red rose among the white!,
As a lamb among the wolves!,
Lo! Is there my lover!, a friend!, a guide!
The Panacea of Life is He,
Amidst the thorns and thistles!,
Ever crying, ever cherishing,
Yet never against you!
A man of many companions may come to ruin,
But there is a friend who is closer than a Brother ,
Loquacious babbles and smooth hands gathers
companions!,
But greater love has no one than this,
That he that layeth his life for his friends .
~ Inspired by my lovelies,
