Friends, HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!!! A friend'ship' day special poem for you all right from the bottom of the ship of my heart! Wrote this one back in school days - the first poem to fetch me a prize in poetry writing... Cheers to FRIENDship!!!
FRIEND'SHIP'
On the high, rising and falling tides,
Many ships sink and some may rise;
But in the real tide of life, the ships of friendship rise and rise.
They guide, they teach; they console, they preach;
Never selfish in dealings, ever selfless in feelings;
This is how they sail from one shore to the other.
In doubt, friendship builds a firm foundation;
In trouble, it builds a firm decision;
In distress, it gives a consolation;
In fear, the confidence for confrontation.
In sorrow, a shoulder to rest on;
In betrayal, a comrade to rely on.
Never betrays - never cheats;
ever-forgiving - ever-lasting;
This is how it flows from second shore to another.
Never dies, never cries; never weeps, never creeps;
By leaps and bounds, it faces the stormy waves,
In midst of rumbling, it does waver and quaver;
But again the beat is clear, and the song is over.
This is how it reaches its destination.
