One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.
Your Friend A Friend For Lifetime
Acquaintances are many but friends are very rare
For with a true and trusting friend your secrets you can share
Your friend will comfort you and advise you and you will not betray
Your friend will never disown you and as your friend will stay
When others do not wish to know you your friend as your friend remain
And feel lucky in your lifetime if one loyal friend you gain
Your friend will always stand by you no matter come what may
And when you ask your friend for help your friend will not turn you away
No your friend will stand by you when you are feeling down
When others shun you as if you were an outcast of the town
Acquaintances like Nature's Seasons they come to your life and go
But your friend a friend for lifetime and the bond of friendship grow
And the one who betrays your trust could never be your friend
Your friend to you is ever true and one on whom you can depend.

My dear Friend Agustin
My friend it's been exactly
five years since we met.
You are still my friend
But I know you like me more than a friend
I am sorry to say
That's all you'll
mean to me a
loyal friend
I wish It could
mean more but
I don't see nothing in you.
Your like my brother.
I do love you
just no like that

My description of a true friend
A true friend is always there.
A true friend is someone who shows they care.
A true friend is someone you can always trust.
A true friend, is someone you can call for help at anytime, they’re not fust.
A true friend is someone you can always go to for a hug.
A true friend is someone who visits you when you’re sick in bed with a tummy bug.
A true friend is always kind and loyal too.
My description of a true friend is a description of you!

Rubaiyat 12
All treasures ain’t worth this oppression.
All pleasures ain’t worth one transgression.
Not even seven thousand years of joy
Is worth seven days of depression.

This Aloneness
This aloneness is worth more than a thousand lives.
This freedom is worth more than all the lands on earth.
To be one with the truth for just a moment,
Is worth more than the world and life itself.
deep in my heart i know God
deep in my heart
i know God as a friend
waiting for me
in the valleys and plains
for a thousand years
he was called Master
by the slaves and he
did not answer
for another thousand
years he is called the
Creator by his creatures
he did not listen
for another thousand years
he is called the Father
of his sons and he did not mind
until then when you call him
Your friend, your peer, your partner
did he look upon you and smile
and in this understanding
God has come, patting you on your shoulder
welcoming you to sit as a friend
on his table to take his glass
and drink the wine of eternity

~a Thousand Times, A Thousand Ways~
Beloved…
I’ve expressed my love;
A thousand times
A thousand ways
In a thousand rhymes,
A thousand plays
My muse
My friend
My everything
Alive within my soul
Sewn into my very being
My love…
It is you that makes me whole

Trust me oh friend for I have a loyal heart
Trust me oh friend for iv been there from the start
Trust me oh friend for ill lend a helping hand
Trust me oh frend because i do understand
That you have had many a fake hearts in your life
And I shall pull from your back the knifes

Nothing More...
She trusts him
He trusts her
She believes him
He believes her
She's loyal to him
He's loyal to her
She loves him
He loves her
She's his best friend
He's her best friend
And nothing more
It hurts her
It hurts him
It makes her cry
It makes him cry
She needs him
He needs her
She loves him
He loves her
She's his best friend
He's her best friend
And nothing more
She doesn't know the truth
He doesn't know the truth
She finds the bullet
He finds the gun
She loads the gun
He shoots the gun
She loves him
He loves her
She's his best friend
He's her best friend
And nothing more...

100,000 Pennies
I broke into the bank on Sunday,
You should see the money I got.
I couldn't drag it home 'til Monday,
'Cause it sure weighed an awful lot.
Then I sat down to count it,
And much to my surprise,
A whole lotta little brown, little round coins,
Rolled out before my eyes
Chorus:
I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies,
Not a solitary dollar or a dime,
And I don't believe there's many,
Rich men with a problem like mine.
And I don't think this is any
Kind of ending to a perfect crime.
I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies,
And I'm spendin' it a penny at a time!
Now a steak sure would taste delicious,
And I've forgot how a beer would feel,
But the man just might get suspicious,
If I gave him eight hundred pennies for a meal.
So I guess I'll just weigh myself again,
And buy me another stick of gum,
I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies, Lord!
And I'm livin' like a penniless bum!
Chorus:
I've got a hundred thousand dollars worth of pennies,
Not a solitary dollar or a dime,
And I don't believe there's many,
Rich men with a problem like mine.

Friendship
I dream of a friendship
Stronger than steel
I wish to have a friend
To share secrets and meal.
A friend is loyal
Brave and earnest
Caring and loving
Devout and honest.
I wish to have a friend
Steady like a dam
Who laughs at my jokes
And accepts me as I am.
I dream of a friendship
What more can I tell
A friend who is forgiving
And plays soccer well.

Ushie's Poem
Loyal friend
If you're true
Tell me lies
And we're through
Be yourself
No pretense
I want real
Not innocence
So, be sure
And confident
Be a gent
I'll be yours
Til the end
That is it
My dear friend

My Best Friend
The one who call me
when am happy and
comfort me when am sad.
My best friend.
The one who undersands
my silent and my sigh from
a thousand mile.
My best friend.
The one who knows my
heart and secrets i may
never live to tell.
My best friend.
The one who encourage me
amidst the crowd and
call me stupid when alone.
My best friend.
The one who exhort my
fault to correct.
My best friend.
The one who do not
complain but explain.
My best friend.

Dog Running
In thunderstorm, and a grey dog
A dog always tied, and in chain
But in thunderstorm, roaring
The dog is running, struck by fear
Enters the room, and under the bed
Pushes himself, places his head on his claws
The grey skin and fur of the dog
Keeper of the house, and near the door
A shepherd hound, loyal to the house
Men and women, children and animals
The dogs tail, cut but still long
And ears straight, eyes dark
I remember the dog, a friend old
When I was a child, and the village simple
My verse is simple, as simple as dog
I wish I had a dog like him, a friend of worth
The many things I mourn and the day’s happenings
But today, my dog I mourn you and remember you

A friend apart
A friend I can not hug,
a friend I can not touch,
a friend I can not see smile
unless in frozen stills of time.
A friend that listens with eyes,
a friend that talks with fingers,
a friend that lets you glimpse its heart
from a thousand miles apart.
Such a feeble sustenance
for such a needed substance.
As a fire needs wood,
so does one needs friends.
But how can fire two twigs apart burn
without no space across to run?

Better one true friend than a hundred relatives.
With Time, History Repeats Itself!
With time,
Relatives drift apart
Loved ones become unloved
Ones held in great esteem turn unwanted
Blood turns thinner than water
New walls of ego and prestige arise
Misunderstandings become stronger
Differences reinforce and multiply
Selfishness draws smaller circles
Love and affection vanish
Childhood years of togetherness disappear
Pedigree chart becomes complex
Newer friends and relatives emerge
Old traditions and cultural values dissolve
Life plays a cruel game amongst blood relatives
Brothers and sisters become strangers
Kith and kin refuse to revere the elderly
The world of love turns into one of inertness
One wonders whether life is really worth living!
But these are the sad realities of earthly life
All must undergo the stages and phases
There is no escape for anyone
Righteousness and principles get scorned
None can change the other
History repeats itself!
