Friendships Poem by aashka thakkar

Friends are the bones of strength that dare the storm with you,
They are the muscle power that make cynicism easier to chew.

Friends are the stars that shine to light the night as you grope
They are clouds by day that fill you with conviction and hope.

Friends fill the scent around with aromas that spread peace and calm
They soothe the racked nerves and work on stress like cooling balm.

These gifts of life are all around, if only you care to see, and lo!
Even strangers are simply friends we haven't yet met or know!

It's amazing how each one of us is cared for and gifted friends,
Who share in mirth and regret, and stand by till this life ends.

There is much to thank for those around, who care and walk the mile
And shade you from the harsh sun, as you rest but for a little while.

To add to joy there is so much that we friends can do when hand in hand
We make a difference to our kith and kin, and explore the beautiful land.
