Will you be my friend? <br />In a gentle manner he asks <br />Will you be my friend? <br />Or is that too much of a task? <br /> <br />Many a time when feeling lonely <br />I long to be loved <br />Welcomed and made to feel homely <br /> <br />A friend I need <br />One who can share my joys <br />Friendship I seek, and not to destroy <br /> <br />A friend I need <br />Someone not afraid to tell me off <br />When ever I am wrong <br />Instead encourage me to be strong <br /> <br />Someone who can <br />Life my spirits when I am down <br />Not look upon me with a frown <br /> <br />Will you be my friend? <br />In a gentle manner he asks <br />Will you be my friend? <br />Or is that too much of a task? <br /> <br />‘Why me’ she curiously asks <br />I’m no beauty behind my mask <br /> <br />And he replies, ’ Because you are so gentle’ <br />Patiently understanding and simple <br /> <br />You exhibit utmost kindness <br />The title friendship goddess <br />Is yours, if I am honest with gladness <br />You display compassion and intelligence <br />You never judge and there is no pretence <br />My life with you will make a difference <br /> <br />We rhyme together in towns <br />And joke around like clowns <br />When we talk on the phone <br />I merrily feel not alone <br />You shine like the sun and are fun <br />You are always there with support <br />Continuously making sacrificial efforts <br /> <br />Well then, I am already your friend <br />She says, ‘unless you want our friendship to end.’ <br /> <br />Copyright 2006 - Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />Sylvia Chidi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/will-you-be-my-friend/
