Friends



Friends are sacred to me. I like having many friends and enjoy the good company. But having friends goes along with a price. The joy of having friends is indescribable but have to face a great pain when seeing them go. That's part of having friends; to meet and to depart. I always wish friends are for keeps though the reality is some friends come and go like passing clouds.

I miss some friends whom I crossed paths once and whom I don't see anymore. To all my dear friends, this is my hope for a true meaning of friendship.

If I'm the bread, my friend is the butter,
when spread on the bread, we can click together.

When I cry, my friend understands why,
She will be by my side to let it go by.

On every gloomy day, my friend is the sunshine,
That shoos the gloominess from this soul of mine.

Many a time , I stumble and fall,
But I'm glad, my friend gives a hand for me to hold.

The misfortunes of life tears the happiness from me,
My friend puts back the torn pieces like what it used to be.

Come what may; rain, shine or harsh weather,
My friend will always be there to give me shelter.

To my dear friends, wherever you are,
You all are my priceless jewel forever.



With a fond thought,
Balqis

  2. yes. friends are treasures. A friend is a precious source of happiness. It's not always measured by distance, but rather the happiness you have inside you when you remember your moments together and that smile on your eyes when you see them again.

    if i am the chocolate, my friend will watch me eating myself! hehehe

  5. @Beanie - You're right! It's exactly what it is all about. Thanks, Beanie. :)

    But...you're selfish...you let others drool watching you eating up yourself!! Hehehe...nothing for them! Why don't you throw a piece of it to the bee so that it won't sting you??

  7. hi balqis, this is really a fantastic piece of poem for a friend.. how lucky your friends are to have you around.
    You must be the kind of friend, where they will always say "WISH YOU WERE HERE" whenever they have good things or dificult moments to share.
    To me, you are a friend too...so far yet so near. have a wonderful day balqis, God Bless you.

  10. @Sie - Dear sis, I'm sorry to hear that you were sick. I hope you're recuperating.

    I value friendship, too, and how much it means to me. I'm always happy meeting new friends but will be in deep sadness when they are gone. I mean, after certain time, don't hear from them and lose contact. This is part of life.

    I miss you, too. My thanks to you for being a good friend though virtually. Stay connected! :)

  13. Hi Sagittarian! Yeah, what you said is right. Friends in joy are many but friends in tears can be only a handful. It's, of course, painful seeing good friends leave. Thanks a lot. :)

  20. Salaam Alykkum,

    Glad to catch up a fellow blogger from Malaysia.. Though I have heard a lot about the country, I have never had a chance to 'know' the country well.

    Friends are the diamonds on our crown... Behavior of our friends portrays the behavior of ourselves as well.

    As A Muslima, I believe I must chose friends who 'shine' with virtues and good deeds... Who reminds me of Almighty God, who motivates me to do everything good for everyone around...right?
