Poem– Friends

‘O’ Dear! My Dear! Recall the first friend you know.
Then Smile of mother shines and her steps softly into show.

If do you recall your strength, may found only your father.
He is powerhouse of children and also a child’s walker.

Talk to old father, let his counsel calm the restless tide.
Each problem, like a wave, will break and then subside.

Look into your wife’s heart, let its warmth be your guide.
There you’ll find the lost love you thought you could not hide.

Befriend your son oneday, let youthful laughter ring.
And years melt away, your young days reborn as spring.

Think when you eagerly need help, who was with you?
Your answer will come as brother because you better know.

Seek relationships at home, let them be your anchor true,
For life grows richer within, than chasing what’s askew.
