To every friend
walking into or
through my life,
I’m glad you are.
Take a leap
and tell its tales.
To every friend
who may or will
walk into my life,
I hope the grounds
remain fertile enough
for you to explore.
To every friend who has
ever walked into my life
or walked through it;
Let me ask,
that we count the miles
And keep the smiles
No matter how we met,
or the length of time
we journeyed together,
or the nature
or circumstances
surrounding it all,
I am grateful
for every lesson
and values or perhaps
both that I learnt
from you and
our relationship.
Whether negative
or positive,
they’ve added up.
Thanks for being
a friend or a fiend
as the case may be.
