**H.M.S. FRIENDSHIP**

Friendship is built upon the foundations of

Unique and quirky first impressions.

It is not brought together by what others

May say or recommend,

It is not brought together by a Rubik’s cube

Or the use of super glue—

Friendship is just what it states!

 

Two or more ships brought together

To become one friend—thus the

Creation of Friendship!

 

It involves a raging sea of betrayals;

Of innocent white lies; of going astray;

Of being in the wrong place at the wrong time;

Of hatred and envy.

But Friendship is strong

And it prevails over anything above all else;

And when the bonds of

Friendship is that strong, nothing between

Friendship should ever; could ever be wrong!

 

However, you do get one or two that goes overboard

The bow of Friendship and are forever lost at sea

Hoping to be picked up by Cecrops, the Lost Mariner to

Remain forever a prisoner on the ship of Friends that

Corrupts the minds of truthfulness; of the One True bond

That which is called Friendship.

 

My ship is true and has never

Strayed from its course.

It is homeward bound towards

The foundation that which

Made it true; towards quirky

First impressions that’s unique and precious;

Back to the fleet yards and of harbors

of its creation--

The Fleet of Friendship.

I lost the friendship of someone very great to me and I don't even know why.  The messed up bit of it is that we're co-workers and now we have to work like strangers... geeeezzzz.. :-(
