A/N Hey guys! This poem isn't really demigod related (only a little bit), but I wrote it for Aphrodite in Disguise. Today it's her birthday and the birthday of a friend of hers. Happy birthday girls!
I used a few quotes to come up for ideas for this. They are listed below if you are curious at all.
"One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood."
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca
"There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship."
- Thomas Aquinas
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
- Walter Winchel
"A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world."
- Leo Buscaglia
"A friend is what the heart needs all the time."
- Henry Van Dyke
What do we think is important?
What do we think is good?
What is as good as loyalty
or hope and family?
o-O-o
What do we think isn't easy?
What can be quite hard?
What do we think trumps hardship?
It's friendship.
o-O-o
Because it doesn't matter if you're fighting a war
Or silent battle inside.
A true friend will stick by you
No matter what you do.
o-O-o
A rose may be my garden,
But, my friend, you are my world.
You are what my heart needs everyday
And you help me in every way
o-O-o
Demigods fight battles, and they fight wars
But so do you and I
Yes, they might fight monsters that put our fears to shame.
But isn't fighting bullies sometimes quite the same?
o-O-o
A true friend never leaves.
A true friend never lies.
They stay through whatever strife
That may come upon your life.
o-O-o
And if you stick by me,
I promise to stay by you.
Now let us say a promise that the world can never sever,
"I'll be your friend forever."
A/N Happy birthday to your friend and you, Aphrodite in Disguise. Also, happy birthday to anybody else who has a birthday today! :D
