Friendship

Golden jubilee of my university
Has tied thousands in amity
The solemn party becomes a pleasant sojourn
Old and young graduates passionately yearn

Decoration with flowers,lighting and festoons welcome all
Wives and children of graduates happily stroll
Pairs and groups of friends are engaged in gossip
Some eat snacks while others take sip

In such thrilling and festive mood
I met a friend exceptionally good
We are friends for long long years
We embraced each other with  tears

Memories sprang up of bittersweet past
We shared many stories,many left untold at last
We took renewed vow to love each other at parting
We exchanged smile and pensive looks for another meeting

Golden jubilee is the golden feather of our life
Friendship triumphs through concert and strife

Beautiful and touching poem that evoked many emotions in me. Although it was written about a specific celebration, it's many wonderful images and the genuine sincerity of your expressions bring back many happy memories of the reunions that I have enjoyed in my life. Your final two lines are an absolute blessing and summarize your poem magnificently while providing it with a very powerful and satisfying ending. I enjoyed it very much.

Such a powerful poem, it brings many emotions. The flow of words make the poem easy to read and I truly enjoy the flow of words within poems. Reading this makes me want to find my past great friends and just catch up on times and enjoy their company once again. Your poem is just so cheerful and serves as a reminder that we often take things for granted, and most often we take friendship for granted. And re-unions can be joyous and sweet. This poem is sure to open many eyes as well as hearts. It is such a wonderful poem, thank you for sharing it with us all.

Friendships carry us through the turbulent waters and send us a life preserver when we think we will sink beneath the depth of icy waters.
