CAMARADERIE

friends or foes, I come to you
to quench this thirst that seldom subdues,
my arms extend for you to grasp
let alone my sleeve be on tuck.

Friends I share with you my life
the story told and even the banned
I’ll save your acts and respect your rights.
Just be the friend I wished since young.

Though time may change us, yet still I am
the kind of friend you always have
I maybe new, but my traits are old
I laugh the loudest though your jokes are off.

Thick and thin; flesh and blood
I’ll remain true, because that’s I am
if forever’s missing, then always is here.
Chums are gems, kept safe in a box.

Foes I never intend to have
forgiveness is supreme and love is kind.
foe I may to you, but never I am
I am your kin in God’s abode.
