Notes About The Poem
Even opposites can be good friends..The lines about New friends are silver and old friends are gold are not totally mine but from a poem I read once..

A Gentle Prevailing Wind

Waiting for a true  friend anyone it can be
                                         Warmth of morning's first cup of tea in me
                                         And a smile that will brighten your day sure
                                        Or I can be your contact lenses for eye's cure
                                   All these things I offer, now bring your friendship key

                                  True friends are hard to find_needed trait being kind
                                      A listening ear_joy, sorrow share if so inclined
                                           New friends are great but keep the old
                                              New friends are silver; old are gold
                                     True friendships are like a gentle prevailing wind

I agree and a real friend is hard to find so when you find one value them for what they are -- a rare treasure. God Bles, JB

You both did great verses on friendship. I especially love the last two lines as it describes and ends the thought perfectly.

Metaphorically mixed friendships are the best.

So beautiful, Sara. I don't think anything could top this and I like the way you and Kash describe friendship as a "gentle prevailing wind." Best wishes in Tracie's contest! I'd rank this one very high. Love, Carolyn
