Friendship Poems
A Friend
by Gillian Jones
A person who will listen and not condemn
Someone on whom you can depend
They will not flee when bad times are here
Instead they will be there to lend an ear
They will think of ways to make you smile
So you can be happy for a while
When times are good and happy there after
They will be there to share the laughter
Do not forget your friends at all
For they pick you up when you fall

I am no poet
by Vivekananda Shripathy
My heart has been beating since the day I was born,
So I won’t lie to you—it’s not beating because of you.
But there's a difference now; I’m holding my chest,
And for the first time, I hear the music in its rhythm.
I won’t lie to you, this isn’t my first sleepless night,
Nor the first time I’ve looked up to watch the stars.
But tonight is different; I don’t want to close my eyes.
Lying on this bed, staring at the dark ceiling,
I see a million stars, each one carrying your reflection.

How I Am
by Jason Shinder
When I talk to my friends I pretend I am standing on the wings
of a flying plane. I cannot be trusted to tell them how I am.
Or if I am falling to earth weighing less
than a dozen roses. Sometimes I dream they have broken up
with their lovers and are carrying food to my house.
When I open the mailbox I hear their voices
like the long upward-winding curve of a train whistle
passing through the tall grasses and ferns

Yayu's AI friends
by Yayu Uppsurya
In crowded streets where silence often reigns,
A friend appears, a light amidst the gray.
His laughter breaks the weight of heavy chains,
With every word, he clears the clouds away.
No jewels worn, nor titles to proclaim,
Yet in his gaze, a warmth that feels like home.
Through stormy nights, he whispers, “You’re not lame,
For in this world, we’re never meant to roam.”

A Golden Chain
by Helen Steiner Rice
Friendship is a Golden Chain,
The links are friends so dear,
And like a rare and precious jewel
It's treasured more each year...
It's clasped together firmly
With a love that's deep and true,
And it's rich with happy memories
and fond recollections, too...

Friend you are to me
by Aldo Kraas
Friend you are to me
More than a brother
I want you to be a part of my life
I Hope also to be able to spend the lonely hours
With you
I am no longer a young man
I already lived my young life
Now I am a senior
You tell me that I am
Young at heart

Gemeinsam sind wir stark
by Mario Odekerken
Gemeinsam wachsen,
Hand in Hand,
verschiedene Wege,
ein Ziel vor Augen.
Kräfte vereinen,
Hürden überwinden,
mit Mut und Vertrauen
einander tragen.

Don't go around
by Aldo Kraas
Don't go around
Talking behind my back
To you
Snobbish friends
Because I hate
When you do that
You have no right
To do that
Also when you do that
You also hurt me badly
