‘Shining like a Super Star’

Throughout my long life
I’ve made my circle of friends
those familiar faces that I keep up with & tend
There aren’t that many considering my age
but I keep them close by me
safe on my memory page

People come & go on my friendship list
tho new ones seem to evaporate
just like the sea-fret mist
Although there will always be some space if I add anymore
I reckon the friends I have now shall be the ones I adore

Friendship is important
A vital necessity in our life
They help you out in an instant
If you have any trouble or strife
Whilst they are willing to support you
friends are good company
lovely to have a catch-up with a nice cup of tea

My friends are invaluable
You see that’s because they know me
they understand my weird notions, my personality
I find that is incredible
As that surely must be a task
tho I hold my heart on my sleeve
I never wear a mask

These chosen few will stay within me forever
no matter what befalls us
I shall not forsake them never
I don’t need to name them
they know who they are
lingering in the near distance
