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

Be A Friend

by Edgar Albert Guest

Be a friend. You don't need money;
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.

Be a friend. You don't need glory.

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...

When the Sun Appears

by Wayne Hebb

After a stretch of
Rain, drizzle and fog
It’s like an old friend
One you haven’t seen in
A long, long time
At first, it’s a bit awkward
Thinking about what to
Say, how to act then you
Relax and accept the
Friendship that was and

Why I Write and Not Speak.

by Nad Sof

They say, "Life is always unfair,"
A truth so harsh, it’s hard to bear.
But never did I think it would go this far,
That life’s unfairness would leave me scarred.

I once believed, with all my heart,
That sharing pain would heal the part,
Of me that hurt, the part that bled,
That someone’s love could calm my head.

Would you dance with me?.. and my Demons

by Kevin Junior Ojang Ojong

Dance with me and my demons, bring your demons to the forefront and let ours dance together.

Stay with me, but stay with my demons too. Do not focus on the light that flickers, but understand the darkness within and what made the demons that come out to play.

Am I fighting demons or am I the demon? I would welcome your demons and your darkness, I will set a place at the table for them, for how can I love the light if I can’t accept the demons?

Would you dance with me? and my demons too, for if our demons can’t dance together, how can we embrace our light?

When Man Defies God

by Christen Kuikoua

They tell me I can be whatever I choose
That a man can become a woman,
That flesh can defy the hands of its Maker,
That truth is no longer truth but mere opinion.
Lies! Deception! Blasphemy!
Has the creation risen above the Creator?
Shall the clay rebuke the Potter,
Claiming He has made a mistake?
Oh, foolish generation, drowning in pride,
You shake your fists at heaven,

60. Life is a tree where friends are fruits

by Kea Campbell

Life is a tree where friends are fruits that eventually secede.
Sometimes I keep the rotten and sometimes I trim the ripe,
Because even at this point in my life, I can't tell where true intentions hide.

55. Why'd You Leave Me Bruv?

by Kea Campbell

Roses are red and violets are blue;
Enjoy this amateurish poem because I low-key like rhyming, so that's what I'm gonna do.
It's only been days and I already feel something missing;
Part of my head and my heart died and the goodbyes made me feel empty.
Sunsets never get old, and good friends are always hard to lose;
I guess the tables have turned, because now I'm the one waiting for you.
It sucks that you're gone and maybe it was past due;
And I know we've been on plenty of adventures, but it's a shame I'm no longer with you.
Now I'm watching every sundown alone;
And I'm no longer able to see the moonlight in your eyes.

54. #prayformichael

by Kea Campbell

I'm not afraid of deep water, just the lives that are stolen in it.
I can't sleep tonight because my brain streams the incident.
It replays the same show, with no breaks or commercials.
The pool took his future, leaving only a faint pulse.

I didn't even realize, and beforehand we were playing.
"Who can stay underwater longer? If you breathe, you lose the game."
Hours went by and the contest had been over.
Next thing I know, he was dragged out of the water.
