Friendship Bracelet

For http://www.writerscafe.org/Ali%20Gay

Tied together nicely with

a pink leopard print ribbon.

A green peace heart for me

and a pink one just for you.

Attached were two smaller charms

reading “Best” and “Friends”.

Ribbons tend to unstitch

as do friendships it’s true.

From our wrists, the bracelets fell,

and with that, our friendship too.

Though ribbons can be replaced,

true friends are rare.

I can’t exchange you at the store,

but I search deeper and mature.

At the store, a new bracelet,

a lot stronger than before.

Knotted tightly with a bright blue rope

and beads of rainbow joy.

Mine begins with a small green bead,

and for you, well it was pink.

Double knotted, then again,

tying tightly to our wrists.

Through the rain and changing weather,

never breaking bond of friendship.

Author's Note

*I wrote this poem for Ali: http://www.writerscafe.org/Ali%20Gay. "You don't get angry when I change the plans. Somehow you're never out of second chances. Won't say 'I told you' when I'm wrong again. I'm so lucky that I've found, A true friend. True friends will go to the ends of the Earth, till they find the things you need. Friends hang on through the ups and the downs, cause they've got someone to believe in." True Friend - Hannah Montana [ aka our theme song ] I love you, Ali. Thank you for never giving up on me.*
