Friends Poem

Friends

Friends remind me of,

Two rare, bright tropical flowers,

Shinning with talent and open hearts,

Sweet music pulses through their veins,

They have helped complete my dream.

My pulse elevates with the excitement,

Of adventures and laughter to come.

Each memory sweet with acceptance and love,

Surrounds my atmosphere with diamonds.

Friends remind me of,

Well- meaning nicknames,

So as I almost forget how to spell my own.

Humor not wasted,

Warmth in greeting not withheld,

With gleaming smiles.

I can throw back my head in laughter,

While embarrassment does not sting.

I can throw away judgment,

I can embrace the day.

Friends remind me of,

Cozy evenings,

When we mention crushes,

Flushed faces in the twilight,

Though no one will tell.

Quiet sweetness and pleasant agreement,

On school and movies.

Music and dance sound wonderful,

With dear people so close by,

I can bare blistered toes,

As long as they are beside me.

Friends remind me of,

When we first met,

Something good and lasting,

Came right around the corner,

I made two most endearing,

Friends instead of one.

Turmoil may come,

Yet I feel delight knowing,

I have a great group of friends,

Around me.

Dedicated to all my home school friends and others- I may be moving again, I may have said goodbye to some of you already this year, but you haven’t lost me. I will always keep in touch. I may make other friends, but making new ones doesn’t mean I forget the ones I already have and love. I am so privileged to know such a wonderful group of girls and guys. You all have made my life more joyful. It took me a long time to make friends, now I have the best friends a person could ask for!

I look forward to the new start I have been blessed with. It will be different, but different experiences help us grow. Yet, I never dreamed I would become so attached to what I have here. And this poem barely touches what everyone has given me by just being friends!

Distance doesn’t stop good friendships…….
