Friends

Assalamualaikum wbt

  



Friends come and go 
As the currents ebb and flow 
The swells and ripples that they make 
Leave mixed emotions in their wake 
For some friends drift with changing tide 
Come on strong and then subside 
Only to be cast Upon the shore 
Disappear and be seen no more 
But Some friendships are strong enough to stand 
the changing tides and shifting sand 
What is strong enough to set these friendships apart 
Affinity of mind and heart 
Love much more than mere token 
thoughts understood 
Yet unspoken 
A common bond, a mutual goal 
An understanding heart and soul 
It's these little things that mean so much 
Are strokes of friendship's velvet touch
