A Friend Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Forever, it means good and bad tides:
that you calls for individual to balance the scales,
a friend who is, not to manipulate but to challenge;
Really life is an invitation of unique experience
between the respect and the acceptance
of failure and success, and in its different details;
In issues of differences, therefore, it needs listening:
a head and a heart with mature critiquing
that, above all else, is the goodness of person;
Err, is not an unknown reality
each is a potential agent of cause –be the enemy
defined according to ones bias against personality;
Not to forget that a friend has limitations
in different forms but not to undermines
-the God’s image and likeness;
Duty perhaps, be part of a friend’s existence
behind culture and language –the immense,
space of color and shape and many things
