Friendship is a special devotion <br /> Fulfilling a uniquely personal need; <br /> A treasure of a fragile emotion <br /> Which must be nurtured to succeed. <br /> The joy of intimate sharing <br /> Is purely a human trait. <br /> We choose the ones for caring <br /> Not relying on chance or fate. <br /> Feelings develop which are sincere, <br /> Unlike any other of its kind; <br /> Its nature is not always clear <br /> As it envelops the human mind. <br /> As subtly as it evolved, <br /> The friendship can be suspended; <br /> And either of the parties involved <br /> Sadly, can declare it ended.<br /><br />Jane Secor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friendship-21/
