Friendship Flavours Poem by John Sensele

Teach me to save and salvage secrets
To hold my tongue tight
To lead a life devoid of regrets
Above all, enable me to live right.

Teach me to appreciate a friendship flavour
To share my joys and my sorrows
To grant my foes a favour
Above all, tantalize my tomorrows.

Teach me to adhere to advice
To embrace honesty and humility
To vie away from a vice thrice
Above all, treble my tranquility.

Teach me to value time
To make each second count
To slay sleaze and combat crime
Above all, ameliorate my affability and amity account.
