Friendship Comes In Many Different Forms

Clothed In Colours Of All Shapes, Sizes

A Friend Will Always Commit To Be There

Even Through Your Darkest Of Dark Storms

A Friend Won’t Judge You, Nor Will They Ever Begrudge

In Your Absence They Have Your Back

Loyally Defending Your Honour

Other’s Know Better To Speak Of You In Front Of Them

Oh They Wouldn’t Dare

Not For A Second Backing Off Agreeing To Any Compromise

Our Soul Friends They Take Our Secrets Beyond Their Grave

Not A Second Thought Given To Ever Blow Our Cover

True Friends Watch On Cheering Loudly, Admiringly

Celebrating Our Come Backs From Ashes Up Rising

Offering Us The Spotlight For Our Moment To Shine

Some Will Be Bad Influence Your Partners In Crime

Gifting Us Their Their Expensive Time

Sharing A Few Drops Glasses Of Fine Wine

A Friend Can Be A Fake Disguised; Their Your Allies

These Friends I Speak Of, Are Rare, Scarce As Diamond Gems

Like Miner’s Digging Pick A Few, Do, But Do So Selectively

Don’t Choose Pessimistic’s Passing Judgements, You Condemning

Be Sure To Analyse, Go Over Each With Microscopic Lens

A Friend Can Be One Whom You May Not See

However Whenever Contacts Made, You Both Smile With Glee

A Friend Can Be One Whom You See Everyday

One Who No Matter What; Goes Out Of Their Way

A Friend Can Be One That Lives Thousand Of Kilometres Away

Soul To Soul Knows, You Each Alway’s Have A Place To Stay

A Friend Can Be; An Absolute, Complete Stranger

A Friend You Met Online In This Modern Digital Age

A Friend Can Be Somebody Whom Helps When You’re In Danger

I Have Encountered All Types Of Friendships In My Life

I’ve Lost Some Shitty Friends Gained Some Great Friends Too

Along This Hard Path I’ve Travelled, Though Not In Vain

Lost Some Through Disloyalty, Betrayal, Some By Deceit

Sadly I’ve Lost A Fair Few Of My Friends To The Inevitable Death

It Ain’t Been Easy On This Road To Hell

Serving Up Endless Pits Of Pain

A Friend Can Be Family, However Proceed Extremely Carefully

For They, Our Family, Can Be The Most Poisonous Toxins

Special Friends Though, Their There When We Get Into Strife

Lending An Empathic Ear, Offering Up Their Last Dime

A True Friend Will Be Beside You Celebrating Your Success

Standing By, Leading You Out Of The Depths Of Your Darkness

Reminding Us “Everything Little Thing’s Gunna Be Alright”

Without Exceptions It Always. Works Out Just Fine, Have Faith

It’s Been Orchestrated Perfectly Straight From The Divine

Friends Are There For Good Times Still, Staying Through Our Bad

An Awesome Friend, Their The Bloody Best

They’ll Not Only Make You Giggle But Belly Laugh

Whenever You’re Feeling Glum In Your Sad

Now Your Biggest Worries Are Not Peeing Your Pants

Still Sitting Right Beside You In Your Silence

A Bond So String Nothing Could Break

A Life Travelled With No Loyal Friend

Is To Me Sadly, A Life Misspend

I Can Proudly Heartfelt Honestly Say

How Blessed I Am; Life Brought You My Way

Life’s Been Tumultuous, Yet Enriched By Our Friendships

An Un-Breakable Agreement Of Integral Trusteeship

Your Honesty, Your Strong Loyalty, Pure Kind Heartedness

Is How I Know That We’ll Always Be Mates, Regardless

There’s Nothing Can Come Between Us My Friends

I Love you Unconditionally Eternally, Far Beyond This Life's End

So For Me My Internet Friends Are The Most Genuine

Showing Me Nothing But Loyalty, Accepting My Light, My Dark

My Internet Friends Are The Realist, They Keep It True

Quote “Every Little Things Gonna Be Alright” - Song - Bob Marley
