Friendship

There have been a few

 

Friendship

 

And when at last, the curtain falls,
and I am here no more.

I’ll think about those that I knew,
through all the days before.

 

Some will bring back memories,
of pleasant times and smiles.

Others have not been so nice…
forgotten are their trials.

 

And there are ones who come to mind,
more valued than the rest.

At certain times they’d crossed my path,
these ones I call the best.

 

When I am at a point of need,
which happens more than not.

I think of all these special friends,
and it will help a lot.

 

So, while the curtain is still up,
and I still have some time.

I’ll try my best to be like them,
to others that I find.

So, while the curtain is still up,
and I still have some time.I'll try my best to be like them,

these are the golden words ...I will also cherish my friends because honestly, nothing is as valuable as true friends and they have helped me be what i am today....i started writing when they believed in me and i continued because of their belief and when i joined writers cafe, you have been very kind and encouraging to a new comer like me just as you have promised in this poem...THANK YOU SO MUCH

I liked where you start with when the curtain falls, remembering all your friends, who you'd remember the most and who helped you the best. The ending where you still are meeting new friends, and knowing your old friends. Who will be the ones that you remember, when the curtain falls? Very nice ks.
