Friendship Poem by Mary Roshma

Grains make up a complete dish;
An ocean is never complete without a fish;
A road is never complete without a bend;
Life is never complete without a friend!

Success makes worth one's strife;
A friend makes worth one's life!
A friend is not just a partner to play with;
She removes from the heart each and every filth!

Friendship starts off with soothing smiles,
Friends stay connected even when they're far by miles
They show each other extra-ordinary are;
Heart to heart, everything they share!

They share laughter as well as tears,
At dark times, with each other they exchange cheers!
Their eyes remain a bridge to their spirits;
Together they fly as cage-free parrots!

At times, they cry for a moment and start to laugh in the next,
That is what friendship is and it cannot be written as text!
Friendship contains within memories of laughter and tears,
And not to forget, the now and then doubts and fears! !
