- My words race one another,
- in their eagerness to write of
- the beauty, the purity, the splendor of friendship.
- The ink of my pen floods,
- spilling awe and fascination onto the deltas of my notebooks,
- as its waters murmur of its trust, devotion, loyalty.
- Age is measured by years,
- height by feet and inches,
- but the love of a friend,
- is measured by sacrifices.
- A friend is a mirror;
- imitating the intensity of your emotions;
- face blooming with smiles in your happiness,
- eyes wilting with tears in your sadness.
- A friend is a shining promise,
- one that never rusts or loses its luster.
- A friend is the invitation to the dimples of dreams,
- and the rejection to the convincing charms of fears.
- A friend is someone who
- has folded and unfolded your veins like a newspaper,
- read you cover to cover,
- and yet you are the book on the top shelf,
- the book which is read again and again.
- A friend is the one who has the curiosity and patience,
- to unlatch the window of your heart,
- and stare entranced not only at your lucid cheerfull days,
- but also at your foggy confused nights.
- Someone who lifts your burdens off your aching shoulders,
- and cheerfuly places them on his.
- A vivd green leaf in spring,
- one that laughs at Time's windy breathe,
- that cannot send it to autumns murdering grip.
- Love may be a beautiful sun in a clear blue sky,
- but friendship is a radiant moon;
- an island of beauty and hope,
- surrounded by the darkness's snarling tides.
- Love makes winter seem like summer,
- but friendship transforms cold uninviting winter,
- into a beautiful enchanting host.
- Friendship is when the tears of sadness,
- never ripen from the harsh sun of betrayal.
- They are picked by the gentle fingers of forgiveness,
- and then harvested to the graveyards of the soul.
- Having a true friend is like having a star in your pocket,
- or the full moon hung on your bedroom ceiling.
- It is the most valuable of treasures, the most sincere of feelings.
- So water it with affection,
- and let it bask in the warmth of laughter and smiles,
- and watch as it shades you, in the beautiful moments,
- that define your life.
