Friends In My Life
I thought a bit about the friends I’ve had
since childhood and through school days, then till now.
Some friendships have been bliss; a few turned bad,
yet even then, I’ve gleaned some good somehow.
The friendships in my youth, like blooms of spring,
made life so sweet, but flowers wilt and fade.
New seasons came – new friendships blossoming,
but I do not forget strong bonds I made.
I’d move away; some moved away from me -
our lives becoming different, and so
each one who vanished is a memory
I’ve cherished - though some cruelly let me go.
This much I’ve learned: Fair weather friends abound,
but through the storms, my true friends stick around.
