FRIENDS THAT I LOVE
We have a thousand things in life
that are great, that are noble and beautiful
that glorify and elate the soul
encouraging the heart.
But there is one subtle and supreme quality
that comes to us calm and serene
it is manhood and loyalty
sympathy and goodness
it is sublime…it is called friendship
Friends that I love
listen to this tango
that carries among its notes
a handshake.
It was written with the soul
thinking of friendship
with tears I sing it
for those who are no longer (with us)
let us raise our glasses
here in the old bar
as long as there are friends
one feels like singing
The existence that is a dark sentence
with friends seems like verbena
without friends this life
is not worth so much pain.
Friends, same as poets
have deep secret tenderness
Let’s get closer to the noble friendship
that fills us with faith and goodness.
