The love we bear as friends is deep-rooted; <br />The tussles we have had aren’t worth a pie; <br />Our altercations are but else-mooted; <br />Until the end, our friendship should not die. <br /> <br />Let not our foes plant ‘land-mines’ in our place; <br />Let not our enemies take advantage; <br />Let not the middlemen distract our gaze; <br />We have a common worthy heritage. <br /> <br />Our friendship’s old by quarter century! <br />Some wait to see it fall apart somehow; <br />Misunderstandings, better we bury; <br />Our unity is precious for us now. <br /> <br />The opportunists try to break our peace; <br />Our friendship’s strong and never will it cease.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-good-old-friendship/
