True friends

When in the journey of life, you become lost and forlorn

Like a pet or child

Thrown on the streets

When no-one can see the massive wreck you are

Shipwreck streaks

Living half-blind, wearing your favorite rose-tinted glasses

Seeing everything but roses at times

When all seems lost and desolate 

as if you’ve become an abandoned island

That’s when true friends appear

And enemies too

It’s scary as Halloween horror time

But not as wonderful just

That’s when true friends appear

To get you out of the lurking shadows

They never leave you

From that moment onwards

Sticking around like nature’s bounty

It never goes, whether you scream or shout

Sticking around like all your favorite things

If only they had voices

Their true selves’d be shown

Why you handle me as this and that

Who’d leave you and who’d not leave you alone

I say one who has a heart

You can tell the first time they see an animal

That’s the start

Of a friendship based on love

But some can accost you whether or not the above be true

They’ll come with roses at your doorstep 

Like love-inflicted friends

Everyday things will rearrange to take better shape

Like potter’s vessels in the day

And stay on and cook for you

Night and day

At night will cradle you to sleep

Like a mother her baby

They’ll make life a big secret garden for you

To admire with charms again

And fill your life with roses again and again

Even after some have long dried

Roses of color

Roses of honor

Roses of worship

Roses of blossoming friendship

Roses of love

Roses of pride

Roses from dust

They’ll plant these things in your life

So that anytime you feel like you can side, abide with them

By the rules of friendship

And loving and caring

What a heart that knows no bounds

Not just deep as the ocean

High as the sky

Mighty as a ship

Something you’d rather not skip

In your lifetime
