Friendship Day in India: Poems

1. Friendship is not how U for

Get but how U forgive

Not how U listen but how U

Understand,

Not what U see but how U feel,

and not how U let go but how U hold on!

2. Friendship is a network

that needs:

no recharge!

no charging!

no roaming!

no validity!

no activation!

no signal problems!

just don't switch off your Heart!

3. Your friendship much can make me blest,

O why that bliss destroy!

Why urge the only, one request

You know I will deny!

Your thought, if Love must harbour there,

Conceal it in that thought;

Nor cause me from my bosom tear

The very friend I sought.

5. Friendships come and Friendships go

Like wave upon the sand

Like day and night

Like birds in flight

Like snowflakes when they land

But you and I are something else

Our friendship’s here to stay

Like weeds and rocks and dirty socks

It never goes away.

6. Friendship is the hardest

thing in the world to explain.

It is not something

you learn in school.

But if you have not learned the meaning of friendship.

You really have not learned anything.

A friend is someone we turn to

when our spirits need a lift.

7. A friend is someone we treasure,

for friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our

lives with beauty, joy, and grace.

A friend makes the world we live

in, a better and happier place.
