treasures

these treasures we collect throughout our life 

the ones we call friends 

come in various ways and part in various ways 

some start way back from childhood  

some start right from our peak youth 

some come only in middle age 

some may come way later in retirement 

how many varieties and levels and circles? 

some you have fun with 

some you trust your life with 

with some you share your thoughts 

with some you share your feelings 

some make you laugh 

then some make you cry 

some are in touch constantly  

some in touch regularly 

some friends are forever 

some far away but special nonetheless 

some longtime ones rarely connect 

some casual ones still the best sometimes 

some drift apart slowly overtime 

some you lose for various reasons 

some so-called friends you always wonder  

are they really friends? 

some can’t live without friends 

you end up losing only to prove you still live 

these treasures we collect throughout our life 

make life we call worthwhile
