Friendship - An original poem

in poetry •  7 years ago 

This is a simple poem I wrote many years ago.

FRIENDSHIP

The secret to happiness as it now can be told
Lies not in the riches of rubies and gold
But deep in the heart where friends are made true
Especially good ones, like I have in you
Someone who picks you up when you fall
Someone who listens whenever you call
Someone who lends a willing hand
Someone who takes the silent stand
A friend never judges they only accept
And when you confide, your secrets are kept
They know your weaknesses but point out your strengths
And when you're in trouble, they go to great lengths
This is an ode to all the great friends
Who come into our lives and stay til the end

Amen bro..

Life essentials

I know, right. If Dr. Suess wrote friendship poems this is what they might look like.

Green Eggs and Friendship!

Your words make my friends like entries in a diary, or more like video clips in my memory store, appear before my mental eye as I read - well done!

I love all poems by @jbreheny

That's because you're biased and I wrote most of them for you.

😂😂😂 what where you expecting @jbreheny. She just said her mind . Nice piece though worth while.

I sure done married me a good'un. :-D

OMG Dude!

I knew our friendship was moving fast...But this I am genuinely overcome ;)

But seriously, (don't worry it wont last long) this is nice, heartfelt and incredibly true. To be able to articulate oneself in any form is a gift not all of us share, to be able to do it in a creative way is fantastic.

Who knew this simple yokel wonderful Steemian buddy of mine a guy who's caused me to roll about in tears so much recently epitomized the expression.

Still waters run deep.

Good job man.

You have inspired me! ::fist bump::
