Maria Samuel
Friendship
Always present in memory and thought
A friendship everlasting and often sought
Memories of hardship and tribulation
But more of togetherness and jubilation
Simple gatherings and warmth exuding
Loathing and selfishness precluding
In tribulation, a shoulder to cry on
A close friend to beckon and call upon
Ever present to comfort and support
All praises and Glory be to the Lord
For bringing you close to me
All thanks be unto thee
An angel by my side
In darkness, shines thy light
My confidant and close friend
Your love is with me till the end
Accepting my faults and limitations
Without hindrance or hesitations
Do know this for sure
Whatever you may endure
I will always be with thee
Just as you are and always will be
Forever and ever with me
