FRIENDS
Friends come and go as they please,
True friends are rare indeed,
The ones that show up when you are in need.
The rest are all acquaintances to say,
In order to make time pass away.
The ones that last,
We have had a good past,
All in this play in which we are cast.
You should get to know yourself,
Mans best friend is himself.
We should learn from the mistakes we make,
But we foolishly keep going for a retake.
Another day, good morning hell,
What lessons for today I cannot tell.

It took me a while to realise that acquaintances and friends were two totally different things!
Mohit,
Do you have a link for your poems (Ponder Awhile)? I really like poets who rhyme. Good poetic comment at my hub. Looking forward to more such wonderful interactions..hehe
Really liked this original line: "Mans best friend is himself" Well thought out statement about the greater friendship of mankind linked to the inner man! Gee, can you tell I really loved this one...? grin
Nice little poem here. My best friend is my enemy for he/she makes me stronger and more enlightened, therefore more tolerant and loving.
Nice poem! I like it!
yep glad I have found my true frients among the pretenders. great poem

I like the ideas you express in your poems...
"Mans best friend is himself" the concept of liking yourself was one that took me a long time to reach. It is interesting poetry.
