On Friendship

True friends are hard to find

they are as rare as gems;

But when you come to find them,

you'll treasure them forever

for they will stick with you any time

even amidst storms.

How to find true friends?

a simple route for some,

but a complicated maze for others.

Some say, searching for a true friend is like

finding a needle amidst a haystack;

you need a set of keen eyes

to spot this minute thing.

In like manner, you've got to have

an extra sensory perception

to fathom one's heart,

to decipher his inner thoughts and feelings,

to dwell into the recesses of his being.

Yet, others believe otherwise;

They embrace this down to earth premise:

You don't need to be Einstein, Shakespeare,

Freud, Bruner or Piaget

to understand human nature;

All you need is an open heart

to sense genuine friendship.
