    Friendship Day in India: Poems

    1. Friendship is not how U for

    Get but how U forgive

    Not how U listen but how U

    Understand,

    Not what U see but how U feel,

    and not how U let go but how U hold on!

    2. Friendship is a network

    that needs:

    no recharge!

    no charging!

    no roaming!

    no validity!

    no activation!

    no signal problems!

    just don't switch off your Heart!

    3. Your friendship much can make me blest,

    O why that bliss destroy!

    Why urge the only, one request

    You know I will deny!

    Your thought, if Love must harbour there,

    Conceal it in that thought;

    Nor cause me from my bosom tear

    The very friend I sought.

    5. Friendships come and Friendships go

    Like wave upon the sand

    Like day and night

    Like birds in flight

    Like snowflakes when they land

    But you and I are something else

    Our friendship’s here to stay

    Like weeds and rocks and dirty socks

    It never goes away.

    6. Friendship is the hardest

    thing in the world to explain.

    It is not something

    you learn in school.

    But if you have not learned the meaning of friendship.

    You really have not learned anything.

    A friend is someone we turn to

    when our spirits need a lift.

    7. A friend is someone we treasure,

    for friendship is a gift.

    A friend is someone who fills our

    lives with beauty, joy, and grace.

    A friend makes the world we live

    in, a better and happier place.
