Friendship Poems
Friendship poems are close kin to love poems.
As Flowers Grow
As flowers grow Their beauty soothes The eyes within their reach.
As friendships grow Our hearts accept The faults that lie in each.
Robert Ogden
I remember wondering why one of the smartest fellows in my high school class was such a close friend. I didn’t feel worthy of his companionship, mostly because he was a straight “A” student. Yet, we visited each other’s homes in the summer and spent a lot of time together at school.
Looking back at that unique relationship and analyzing it, I finally concluded that our friendship was based on one major ingredient: acceptance. We accepted each other for who we were…faults included.
This was a major lesson for me and helped me later on in life, including in my marriage. The differences between men and women require an acceptance of each other’s faults if they are to get along in wedlock.
“As Flowers Grow” is an expression of this truth. Just as flowers have no choice but to be beautiful…it’s their job, they have to be or they stop being flowers...so friendships have no choice but to accept the faults in others or they must stop being friends.
