Friendships

FRIENDSHIPS Fair-weather friendships - easily broken as new interests beckon, like an impatient wind passing through, rushing to its next destination. Friendships of convenience - easily broken as the benefits fade, Like a parasite exploiting its host. Friendships of pleasure - easily broken as exhilaration subsides, like a roller-coaster ride driven by its thrill. Friendships for the good - long-lasting as the connection deepens, nurture us, through a humble heart, like a fertile soil giving nutriment to plants as they flourish. Non-judgmental friends - support us like massive trees shielding delicate birds' nests, Adventurous friends - entice us out of our shells, giving us confidence to fly like a kite in the wind. An honest confidant - like a tremor of the earth, lets us hear the harsh truth. The wise mentor - like a train leaving the station, guides us in the right direction. Dependable neighbours - like angels in disguise, have each other’s backs. Balanced friendships are divine, nourishing and life-giving. Value them.
