Friendship: A poem 

Having a friend is like winning trophies 

A reassuring chat like cake and coffees 

The guide of hope on the very front page 

of character; words with deeds marriage 

Where there is moisture the earth bursts 

And harvests rear up from care’s thrusts 

A cool wind comes in when windows are unlatched 

The fledglings arrive when the eggs are hatched 

So, does friendship’s towers invariably grow 

With hard work’s tide sea meets shore 

But envy poisons the two chefs’ dinner 

 And bitter is the taste when egos simmer 

Let pride not stir friendship’s broth 

Regret is the river when you lose a lot 

Humility is the story of success’ plot 

Then a friend forever is what you’ve got
