Friends in Four Phases

                 

                      I                                        
          Friends,
          Childhood cheerers,
          Fascinating, friction-bound, full of pranks;
          They are a bickering lot.
                    ll
          Friends,
          The yahoo gang of youth,
          Boisterous, bullying but binding to a front;
          They are full of yummy tasks.
                   lll
          Friends,
          The supportive sub plots
          Accelerating adulthood as fuel and force
          They pass out life’s litmus test.
                   IV
          Friends,
          The reminiscent walking sticks
          Supporting the bending years of aging
          They follow as inseparable instincts.

          Names and frames change;
          But friends firm up for a life time
          As corporal, cognizant and spiritual comforters,
          To carry on together as  catalysts, changing life's course.
