Friendship

 

A Poem Of Friendship


We are not lovers
because of the love
we make
but the love
we have


We are not friends
because of the laughs
we spend
but the tears
we save


I don't want to be near you
for the thoughts we share
but the words we never have
to speak


I will never miss you
because of what we do
but what we are
together

Written by Nikki Giovanni



My African America Lit. teacher shared a poem by the famous nikki giovanni and I was just blown away. She possesses so much power when she speaks and you could feel whatever she was saying. Although she expresses her work of art in simplicity; her words carry so much meaning and passion. `Just thought I should share one of her works with yall. Hope you had a great 4th of july weekend
