Friends

A definition to be searched again. Ensure little loss and lots of gain. True but no longer trustful. Sympathetic but wrathful. Good company but nature crafty Humble when down but in power, lofty Courage is theory, coward in practice. Words sweet but actions echo malice. To recharge with your energy in life. But will dig your grave with a knife. Candle soft arms that embrace you. Burn in the fire of hell to destroy you. Better defined now with hours and days. If redefined surely fall among foes. But friends I have to call them. As I learnt never to look there for a gem.

a great show of contrasts about friends we have in our lives, Sunita. I was pleased to find this one from a while back!

Thanks Andrea. I wanted to to have the title as "Friends she has" but it it did not sound well. Actually it was my daughter who had the bad experience and I know most of her friends. It was a deception. But at times, in life we learnt late the true colours Of some "Friends" a common term today on social network. :) Sunita
