Thank you for reading my poetry!
This poem was written in the summer of 2017 as a tribute to all my friends, who have been a fundamental pillar in my life. Certainly, a handful of those friends transcended friendship into brotherhood, and I love them as such. Still, those few along with all the others, without distinction, are in my best memories, treasured in the most special place of my heart.
FRIENDSHIP, OH, WHAT A GIFT!
One day you came,
you simply said,
let’s you and I
become good friends,
but, I wasn’t sure,
didn’t trust you, at first,
for I didn’t know you,
neither knew your intent,
so, you poured me many graces,
plenty of deeds in good faith,
‘till no more I could doubt you
how could I? I’d be so ashamed,
for since, you’ve always been by me,
even just to wish me well,
be today, for my birthday
be yesterday, when I fell,
ever-present, you always
lending me your strength,
in those, my days of happiness,
in those, my days of pain,
you became part of family
the few that see me feel,
be, I choking with laughter,
be, I drowning in tears,
yet, despite my distance
my moodiness unfair,
you have never resented
you have never despaired,
now, aware of the blessing
that you are in my life,
and our bond being tested
with the passing of time,
today’s my turn to tell you
in the simplest of ways,
my heart’s forever grateful
that you and I are friends.
