Friends a poem from Ponder Awhile

 

FRIENDS

Friends come and go as they please,

True friends are rare indeed,

The ones that show up when you are in need.

The rest are all acquaintances to say,

In order to make time pass away.

The ones that last,

We have had a good past,

All in this play in which we are cast.

You should get to know yourself,

Mans best friend is himself.

We should learn from the mistakes we make,

But we foolishly keep going for a retake.

Another day, good morning hell,

What lessons for today I cannot tell.

It took me a while to realise that acquaintances and friends were two totally different things!

Really liked this original line: "Mans best friend is himself" Well thought out statement about the greater friendship of mankind linked to the inner man! Gee, can you tell I really loved this one...? grin

Nice little poem here. My best friend is my enemy for he/she makes me stronger and more enlightened, therefore more tolerant and loving.

I like the ideas you express in your poems...

"Mans best friend is himself" the concept of liking yourself was one that took me a long time to reach. It is interesting poetry.

It is indeed important to know oneself. If we cannot be our own best friend what kind of friend would we be to others? Good friends are not fair weather friends. Excellent poetic style that I relate well to. Awesome messages too.
