FRIENDS

Beautiful lovely friends ,meet at many bends 
Some leave early before you can rate 
Some leave late  even though you relate 
Some always stay No matter what  it takes 

Some make you laugh ,
Some laugh at your graph 
Some help you clean the mess ,
Though they didn't create the stress .

Some come running  in difficult  days ,
Giving you strength in many ways ,
Some make you feel really  very nice ,
Fill your life with  sugar and spice 

Create a space for you in their life ,
Jump to save you from an edgy knife ,
They are your true friends for sure ,
Do anything to make you feel secure .

Give them  the same love and care ,
For that's what is always fair .
Be with them when they need you ,
Wipe their tears and drive away their blues 

They are  true friends for sure 
They matter most to help you gear .
They know when your smile is fake
They can  always feel your pain and ache .

True friends are great for  good health .
They are Vitamin F adding oxygen to breath ,
Some even add to your spiritual wealth ,
They stand  tall by you till your death .

True friends support and believe in each other ,
Even in  dangerous and stormy weather .
Some are great to laugh with  and share jokes ,
Some  help to solve life's  serious pokes ,

Some stay with you through thick and thin ,
Make you smile and  make you grin 
Some are always  eager to  advice ,
Value true friends ,why make a choice .

Some  are fake opportunistic for sure ,
Taking advantage is all that they savor 
Trying to change them never  ever works ,
It only adds to your irritation and  irks .

They come in your life to get work done ,
Exploit your goodness and then make a run .
The sweetness in which they behave and  act ,
Their ulterior motive you can never suspect 

Some  always take and never give  back ,
As if you owed them all that they lacked ,
Some  just leave you in your difficult times ,
Where as some  put you in difficult times 

They came in your life  to make you aware ,
All friends are not the same  please beware 
Avoid  fake  friends as much as you can ,
They are an ugly blot on the friendship clan .

True loving friends are a blessing in life ,
God sent angels to help you strive .
Give them space  to breathe with freedom 
Being possessive in friendship is bad wisdom ,

If they are meant to be in your life with you .
They will always be there no matter what you do .
Be open ,sincere and honest with cheer ,
Friendship then will flourish in top gear.

Old  and true friends are  like old wine ,
Their concern  and love is truly divine .
Friends like Krishna and Sudama are rare  to find 
They are Gods gift of love and trust to mankind .
