Love Friendship Poem

Sometimes it is the true friend that we love the most. Lovers may come and go, but a real friend stands with you through thick and thin. You can always count on them to be there when you have a bad day. You can always turn to them for encouragement, for a shoulder to cry on, or just for a companion on the road of life. Friends are there when you need a good laugh or a friendly pat on the back. Some people say that friends are the family we get to choose.

So for your friend, consider this love friendship poem that goes out in appreciation for all that they do for you.

A True Friend
By Khahlil Gibran

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you.
And share with you it's beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own.
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them into the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend that is always there.

Gibran uses some lovely imagery in this piece to express feelings of fondness and dedication. When he talks about wishing to give his friend a rainbow, you can clearly understand the feeling of joy he gets from his friend and wishes to return. When he talks about building a mountain for his friend, you get a good idea of how much support the friend gives to him and how much of a foundation he is in Gibran’s life.

Most poignantly, Gibran wishes to throw his friend’s troubles into the sea. The gentle rhyme scheme of this piece gives it a kind of sing song quality that is soothing. This is an excellent choice for a love friendship poem.
