Best Friends’ Foibles

  James; stalwart soul and pacifist true

  Friendship means a lot to you

  Rapier wit, master of repartee

  You always have a lot to say

  Yet listen with an open soul

  Alas life as taken its toll

  Exuberance cannot hide the fact

  You feel the weight of the world

  Upon your back.

  Eddie; quiet, softly spoken, your defining traits,

  A being too kind to know of hate

  Seldom a word but we always listen

  The kind, wise council of your opinion

  Your calm reserve, it masks a permanent smile

  Quiet nature seeking quiet places

  But you have the drive to find them.

  Tom; sarcasm personified with desert dry smile

  Always your own person with your own style

  Yet that apologetic stoop with each step you take

  Scared confidence would scare others; a kind mistake

  A love of learning, no matter the lesson

  Without number, your harmless obsessions.

  A wealth of knowledge, no boring conversation

  Up for almost anything without hesitation.

  Armand; constantly thinking with cold observation

  Seldom emotion just cool calculation

  Wise beyond years yet the curiosity of youth

  Abrasively caring yet somehow aloof

  Logic be thy master

  Emotion be thy bane.

  Myself; a heavily flawed individual

  But for my friends.
