Friendship

Friendship Id like to tell a tale all about me mates, The ones who restore my sanity. . . Removes all enemies from my gates. The friends who remain with me, The ones who’s strength i steal, The ones who have my life trust, The ones who never squeal. It’s not difficult, these words for me are clear, Your mates are the ones that pick you up or share there final beer. Your pal is the one who supports you, In anything you do, There is no cost there’s no amount. . . Camaraderie never blue. Laughter, Banter, Fun,. . . It will always spin you round, A mate pulls you from the ceiling, Sews your feet back to the ground. Will tell you “How it is” Always call a spade a spade. . . Sometimes get you locked up. . . Sometimes get you paid. Acceptance, Understanding, Trust. . . With your mate’s that's common place, Always got your back, Never a second face. Will stand on your shoulder, Make you feel twice the man. . . Never a cant do attitude, Always yes. . . we can. Love of family is automatic and very strong, But to love a would be stranger, the road is perilous and long. But as my years pass, As my reflection starts to wither, I've realized my friends. . . Love in abundance you deliver. To imagine a life without them fills my soul with darkened dread, May as well try to stop a train. . . Or curdle poison in my bread. As there the ones who have made me, The ones who make me strong. . . Each one has a life lesson, Each one has their song. To all my “Brothers” and all their sisters too, If you have found yourselves reading this, then the words are meant for you. Thank you to you all, Thank you for all the things you do, But most of all my beloved friend. . . Thanks, just for being you.
