Friends

My slightly unconventional take on haikus.

Oh, how blessed am I

To have such amazing friends

The ones that hold you

Keep your secrets neat and clean

Sometimes they scold you

To straighten your rough edges

But are never mean.

Yes, in my free mind

My friends are spotless jewels

Superhuman bunch

Never touched by waves of time

Not even a hunch

Oh, to be that kind of rich

Do I ask too much?

Oh, how blessed am I

To have such amazing friends

That think about me

And the thoughts occupy them

So that there's simply

No time left for a message

Or a friendly greet.

How blessed I must be.
