BUILD A BOX OF FRIENDSHIP

Undying Poems: Dr. Romulo A. Ramirez

 

In to a box of friendship

To insure that it is strong

First a layer of respect

On the bottom does belong.

 

Then to the sides attached

In the corners where they meet

Several anchors full of trust

Devoid of all deceit.

 

The height of friendship can be,

Measured by the sides of four

So make them all a larger cut

And the box will hold much more.

 

Now fill it up with courtesy

Honor and esteem

Understanding and sympathy

And passion for a dream.

 

Add to that your honesty

Emotions, Joy and Love

And since they’re so important

Place them up above.

 

But leave the box wide open

So all can see inside

To learn what makes a friendship work

From the box you build with pride.
