Our Friendship

Poem

by Melinda Stankosky

Our friendship started many years ago.

Where the days have gone I don't know,

But when I think of all we've done

I stop and smile because we've had such fun.

I hope you know how much I care.

It's friends like you who create a pair.

I wish I were closer to share your happiness;

But near or far, I wouldn't miss

All the things you have to share.

I hope you know I am always here.

I know it is harder being miles away,

But always remember this when I say,

"Our friendship is a treasure

Well beyond any measure. "

Analysis:

This poem is about the writer’s feeling about her friendship. A friendship that has started long ago. A lot of fun things happened when they are together. The writer cares so much about her friend and hoping that her friend knows it. Unfortunately, they are miles apart but that is not to be worry because the writer will always be on her friend side, happy or sad. Their friendship cannot be measured by anything.

I love this poem because it is easy to understand. Every two lines have the same sound. Not much of using figurative language. I do not really into a poem because of its hidden meaning but this poem is light. 

I like stories, poems, or novels with a friendship theme. Friends are people who will understand you, accept you for who you are, while the society out there did not. Real friends will always stay by your side just like the writer.

This poem reminded me of my friends. We became friends since Junior High School. We did lots of crazy things together, told funny stories, and went on a vacation together. A very nice work from Melinda Stankosky.
