Friends

Having moved to BC from Ontario, has given us the opportunity to meet many new friends, both in person and online.

Friends are an intricate strand in the web

of life in which we live and celebrate
the love of friendship of those we meet

and share each moment of achievement.

Though many friends have come and gone
there is always one that truly lasts forever
in our hearts and souls to bring

that beautiful feeling of undeniable love

and understanding forever.

As we grow we meet new friends
that bring a multitude of ideas to enhance
the relationship that we continue to learn

from this moment on or until
it succumbs to the inevitable.

The delicate nature of friends can be
very rewarding yet complicated
as we all have very tumultuous
but wondrously fulfilling lives that can and will

be shared with our friends.

To celebrate our many friends
that we have met and will meet
throughout our lives and give of ourselves
with much love, blessings, care and support
always to our friends.

I agree with the very first line and i enjoyed the rest of the poem. too many times people write poetry about friends and they are all the same with imagery and feeling. with your first line the way it is, it lends itself to be original. i like how you play with line breaks, that is the one thing i always look at when reviewing and writing. i see a few places where the rythem is thrown off by a break that is a word off. re-read it out loud and see if you stubble over them. otherwise, i wouldnt change the wording or stanza breaks, i enjoyed them.

A true friend is invaluable. I still have two friends that I've known since I was six. You make your point well.

I like this. I too have a small group of friends since grade school, and understand how valuable they are to me. This poem is good, but your opening line is great! Keep it up!
