Friendship Poem

It can be short and sweet
Perhaps a day, a week, a month
But never lasting

It can be long and forever
Surviving all that it brings
A bond never broken

And every now and then
Leading to love everlasting

It needs respect and understanding
not all words spoken will be kind, some in haste
forgiveness may be required

So it can be broken but also repaired
As before? Not sure
perhaps weaker, hopefully stronger

It needs to be heard rather than just listening
And showing understanding and patience
Are qualities needed

Doing not...
