Friends They are the fire that keeps me warm When winter’s fingers chill me to the bone. They are the shoulder that I cry on When love takes an unexpected turn. They are the hand that I squeeze When pain comes swooping in. They are the shelter I make When I’m alone and afraid, to keep me from the rain. They are the strong hand and gentle smile That picks me up when I fall. They are the arrow that points the way When I’m not quite sure where to go. They mean more to me than money or gold More than anything I could buy They’re always there for me, No matter what happens. They make me who I am, And they keep me alive. I owe everything I have to them They are my friends.

I think the poem is pretty good. It gives a nice visual image, such as "They are the fire that keeps me warm
When winter’s fingers chill me to the bone." Its a very strong line.

I like the begining of the first stanza where its mostly metaphors/simlies to how friends make you feel, but as the poem goes on they seem more forced....I would recommend not comparing them to money...but its definitely up to you.... its how they make YOU feel after all. Overall, it's my favorite on the page so far biggrin
