:) Friendship's Costs Poem by Bill Grace

:) Friendship's Costs

Rating: 4.9


Friendships costs are many but the greatest pain is
discovery of friend as counterfeit: lover, wife, acquaintance,
class mate, colleague - it matters not
made of convenience, self, organizational need, usury:
the thousand softer metals that never stay the wear of time,
the least alluring often proving best,
be careful in belief of this word - friend.

Lovely piece of poetry written with insight. A Friend-Indeed is a rare gem, very difficult to find. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
