Value of Friends
"The value of friends,
And those which we depend
Is exponential in its meaning,
Based on the compassion we are seeking
Good friends, true friends
College friends, family friends
The weekend friend collection,
For its activity based connection
The, “I know them”, friend fringe,
And those we “know” and cringe
There are best friends we count,
And of those a few are paramount
For they accept us for our flaws,
Our conversations never have a pregnant pause
They never have to be asked,
For they volunteer for every task
There are no condescending judgements passed,
Maybe a few questions about our past
But total trust without remorse,
As we travel life’s uncertain course
So be thankful for those set apart,
Because true friends belong in your heart"
