Friendship Trellis

You are the trellis, I climb and flourish

Grip tight when hurricanes come sweeping

Find a calm haven in our friendship

Sole lampost to lean on in a windy street

You cheer me up whenever we meet

Pull me away from the edge of the precipice

Like a canopy shading me from the harsh sun

You are the reason why I'm still hanging on

Despite perpetual pain, long would have gone.

You stand by my side, like a sentry post

Disallowing death from knocking on my door

Gaining entry to break our lifelong bond.
