Friendship Poem by Shanika marini Paul

Friend or Foe
When the sun shineth luck upon thy day
When Everything seems bright and gay
When thine heart leaps in joy

Friends would soon rally by
Oh! You are my naval brother,
You are my dearest bossom friend,
For you I’l swim the deepest Ocean.
They’d say with a smile so fixed

Yet Clouds of misfortune soon float thy way
Showering miseries cry of day
You knock on his door for a dime or smile
“Not at home”comes a voice from inside

Is he thy friend? I ask thee then
Or the foe soon in memories lane
Be aware for true friends are hard to find.
