I have a hand full of friends and I get extremely excited when I get to spend time with a friend I haven’t seen in a while. I haven’t seen Taiwo in a little over two years (we somehow manage to talk everyday). It was really nice catching up with her and she inspired today’s poem.

By the way, she runs a food blog in Nigeria called Foodie In Lagos .

(PS- If you live in Lagos, Nigeria and you love food, I suggest you also follow @foodieinlagos on Instagram and Twitter).

Anyway, enjoy todays poem…

---

This one is for beautiful friendships 

No, not the phony relationships

But the kind that makes your heart leap

Ignore the kind that makes you weep

…

This one is for friends that fill you with laughter 

The kind you remember even after

Jolts your memory to trigger smiles 

So bright it can be seen from miles

…

This one is for the friends always there

Doesn’t matter if you’re far or near 

Even though the distance is in meters

They still prove to be keepers 

…

This one is for the strong ones

The ones that make sure you stick to your guns

Always ready to encourage 

Creating new moments for your minds storage 

…

This one is for you

This one is for me

This one is for all of us

We’re all friends to somebody…
