Poetry Day: Friends

Posted on October 19, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz

Minion!

(A positive poem from me?  Wow.  Surprised myself too.)

Friends make up your life
The true ones are always there

 

To raise your spirits
And decimate your ego

 

To lend a shoulder during pain
And a drink to toast your joy

 

To join you in your schemes
And help put up the bail money

 

To smack you for your stupidity
And cheer you for your genius

 

To tell you what they think
And hold nothing back when said

 

Be thankful for your friends
And be sure to keep them close

    A lovely poem. I am thankful for mine, especially those honest and loving enough to chide me when I’m wrong. The ones who aren’t just pointing out a mistake to make you feel stupid, but who genuinely care enough to say, “This is wrong. You’re better than this.”

    Wonderful, Charles. Being a good friend takes work – but it’s worth it a thousand times over.

    I love this, Charles! It’s absolutely on the money, and I was nodding my head the whole time I was reading. Thanks for something positive to ponder! 😀
