A Spectrum of Friendship

The loyal ones we keep close The mean ones, we ignore those The truehearted ones, we cherish The treacherous ones, we banish The helpless ones, we give a hand The careless ones, we push around The adventurous ones, we visit them uninvited The measured ones, with our secrets they’re entrusted The lazy ones, we drag out of bed The crazy ones, we straighten up their heads The loud ones, we let them talk us to sleep The quiet ones, we tease them till they flip The foodie ones, pick the joints The moody ones, we crack with jokes To the dreamy ones, we make them reach To the hopeless ones, we set a bridge The brokenhearted, we cry with them The departed, we hold a candle flame We miss them, we make them We remember them, we break them In a bliss, when we hurt We love, we hate A friendship is fulfilling but can still deplete Friends can break us into pieces and make us complete

Wow what a complete list of the types of people that cross our life. And you are so right about our power of deciding how we will interact with them. Well done, Michelo.

I don't like judging people, so I accommodate them all. They have a place at my table, I just have to arrange the chairs in a certain way.
