Sonnet to Friendship

Sonnet to Friendship


Have there been times when you need some advice?
You need someone who knows just how you feel,
Someone who thinks like you, to be precise.
A clone or twin would truly be ideal.

Your parents give advice that you don’t want.
Your sister will just smirk and laugh at you.
If you need help, don’t EVER ask your aunt,
And Grandpa will not even have a clue.

Who can you call to help you with this plight?
Who understands your woes from start to end?
Who can you find to help make things alright?
I’ll tell you who; you need to call a friend!

So, on this point, I think we have agreed;
Sometimes, a friend is just the one you need.
