Scarlette Howard Poet Free verse

Think Twice

Have you ever thought about the company you keep, I have
Friends are unique and special to me
Friends are like roses that blossom all year through
How many have you,
Friends are few and hard to find
Friends are not silent or unkind
Friends are there to comfort you
Friends are treasures that are one of a kind
How many have you, 
Friends are forgiving
Friends are everlasting
Have you ever thought about it
How many have you,
Friends see no colour nor do their judge
Friends are patient
Friends are honest
Now, how many have you?

Sue Mason March 7, 2009 at 7:27 PM Beautiful sentiment here, Patricia and Welcome to PoetrySoup. When you post a poem you also need to put a FORM and a topic which follows where you enter the poem. This poem is Free Verse form which can be found by scrolling above the "I Don't Know" and clicking on Free Verse. Then scroll down into the topic selections and I think they have one called "Friends" or something like that. Hope this is helpful to you.
