Box of Friendship

"This poem describes what I feel it takes to make a friendship work. Everyone has their own view on this subject but I tried to put it into some perspective. When life hands us many different things, good and bad, one of the greatest gifts we receive is the love of a good friend. Yes it took a lot of efforts & compromises to make it work but at the end these people stayed around."

To my angels...




Into a box of friendship to insure that it is strong
First a layer of respect on the bottom does belong.
Then to the sides attach, in the corners where they meet,
Several anchors full of trust, devoid of all deceit.
The height of friendship can be measured by the sides of four,
So make them all a larger cut, and the box will hold much more.
Now fill it up with courtesy, honor and esteem,
Understanding, sympathy, and passion for a dream.
Add to that your honesty, emotions joy and love,
And since they’re so important, place them up above
But leave the box wide open so all can see inside,
To learn what makes a friendship work from the box you built with pride
