Make Friends Poem by Lalithashree Ganesh

Make friends, not enemies
Make love, not war
Make peace, not rage

Make friends, today!

Don't just make friends.
Make colourful friends,
Mix and mingle
walk and talk
cook and eat.

Make a friend, look around!

You can't buy friendship.
Friendship is made,
with trust and love,
and care.

Make friends, one of every colour!

Life has its sunny days
and its rainy evenings,
but your friend there
is the rainbow that's beside you.

Make friends, one of every religion!

Friends aren't to be judged
Friends aren't to be gossiped about
Friends aren't to be misused
Friends aren't to be ignored.

Make friends, one of every flag - black and white, blue and red, green and yellow, black and orange!

Friends are laughter,
bearers of stories,
sharers of warmth
and smiles.
Friends are your good times,
your shoulder to cry on.
Friends are your goldmine,
and your diamond,
and platinum box of jewels.
Friends are
your lifeline,
till your time runs away.

Make friends, down the street, in the bus, on the train, at the cafe, in the classroom, at the office, in the dance class!

Friends are the only ones
always around.
At your home, and in your heart.
Age doesn't age them,
nor does time.
Friends remain just the same
although, they change from time to time.

Good friends can be hard to find, yes!
But when hearts connect,
there's no turning back!
Two feet become four become six...
you dance together, two left feet
or six.

So make friends, today.
Turn around and say, 'How about we meet again! '
