Christopher Rowland Poet Rhyme

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"
