Friendship-To-Friend Manipulation Poem by Walterrean Salley

Friendship is a wonderful relation.
It is a covering—
Providing warmth, comfort
And encouragement,
While protecting from
Life's harshest elements.
Also, friendship is a covenant,
Holding friends accountable.
And helping them to focus
While navigating this
Sometimes confusing existence.
Friendship is good ground
For those who dare to commit.
