Friends Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Friends
Seen have I friends fishing self-centred good,
Busy flattering, placating to please,
Words from vainest deeds veiled in a coiled hood,
In whose presence I seldom breathed in ease,
Never around when needed their friendship,
I've seen them deserting a sinking ship.
Yet, there are friends like a pair of spare hands—
Friends that stand steady, sun or pouring rain,
Crossing conventions, trickiest of bends,
Giving a helping hand, pleasure or pain,
And wise counsel, bitter be it or sweet—
Friends that strove hard their self standards to meet.
There are friends and friends, a spectrum of band,
He that sticks closer than brother is friend.
