Friendship
By:Trung Hoang
Friends. How would one define them?
Friends are the partners you pick up along the road of maturity.
The ones who hung on when you had your ups and downs
On the roller coaster ride of life.
The ones who stood by you even though the ride is over.
Those who are always there to shield you from harm,
Always there to reflect blows from behind.
No matter what happens, your back they have.
True friends are the people who lend you a hand
When you are in need of guidence.
At the crossroads of life, there they stand.
Pointing out the way to the truth.
Knowledge obtained through many past experiences.
Follow the light, for you shall find happiness.
Friends. The chums who have been there to steady you
When you have lost your footing climbing up a steep path.
Picking you up, when you fall flat on your face.
And always there to carry you afterwards,
If you can't walk on your own feet.
Friends. The buddies who are there to congradulate
Your many acomplishments and good deeds.
To share your happiness when you feel as though
You own the whole entire world itself.
They are those whom pushed you up
and helped you ascend to the place you now are.
A word of advice, my friends.
Never forget the people who made you who you are.
The true friends are the ones that you used to
Climb your way to the peak, not the people you meet at the top.
They are the people you are forever in debt.
Take the time to let them know how you feel.
Have you been a good friend today?
