I pen these lines to say ‘Thank You’ on what my little one says is Friendship Day There are indeed things to express and today’s as good as any other day Always maintained and truly believe that friends are the family one can choose Our most potent weapons always ready at our behest to convince, corrupt or confuse
To all the friends who befriended me or I ever made At work, the university, the neighbourhood or first grade Close or distant so many of you have had a role to play In shaping me into the person I am from the proverbial clay
To those who really don’t fit the classical definition of a friend The ones that are always around to support with hand to lend The parents, siblings, the teachers at school and yes even bosses The hands of God, the guardian angels, the mystery sauces
To those with whom I stayed the course and they’re but a few You have a big heart, I know what it takes for being there, for staying true Then there are those that distances and time pushed away Mere pauses in our friendship for whenever we meet we just press play
To the handful and hopefully all of you know who you are My rocks of Gibraltars, my partners in crime, my guiding stars For a man of words I search for ones that’ll convey what I really want to say I live and breathe metaphorically and truly it’s because of you I’m here today
