Friendship is a garden for my friends and I, <br />And we’ve sworn that the plants would never die. <br />The laughs we shared as we gave it care <br />Were as bright and lively as the flowers there. <br />The bonds we’ve grown with the seeds we’ve sown <br />Are greater than all the others I’ve known. <br /> <br />Friendship is a ship that sometimes sinks in time, <br />But the one my friends and I ride sails just fine. <br />The stories we share as we journey everywhere <br />Were wonderful and uplifting like the ocean air. <br />There are many storms throughout the many seas, <br />But nothing enough to break their friendship with me. <br /> <br />Friendship is flying through the brightest sky, <br />And no one could bring us down if they tried. <br />We saw the silver lining of every color of cloud, <br />And together we’ve gotten others off the ground. <br />Whether we are on the ground, ocean, or sky, <br />We will be friends forever as time passes us by.<br /><br />Dyhanara Rios<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friendship-metaphors/
