My Friend! Poem by Bakare Oluwagbenga Michael

My Friend!
The one whose shoulder never lowers when I need a pillow;
The one who is here with me in every season;
The one whose smile strenghtens my crumbling hope;
The one whose family are also mine;
The one person who looks me in the eyes and tells me of my bright future.

My Friend!
No ship is large enough to condone my madness except yours;
My mission for greatness was once your vision of love;
Neither ageing nor illness has the power to wear out our yearning for each other's company;
Even life and death battles are never enough to tear us apart;
Nor will miles and mere distances send our friendSHIP in cold:
My promise to you remains;
I shall give my life to defend our friendSHIP;
And I'll rather loose my home than loose our friendSHIP...
