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.
