"Friends"

What are friends? I ask god,
he says they should be like peas in a pod.
But, I ask, do they all look the same?
he says, true to form, only in name!!
They are different in different dimensions,
but alike during all situations.
They laugh, they cry, they share, they swear,
well friendship has its fair share of wear and tear.
But it keeps going like a well oiled clock,
it keeps on ticking till you shut it off.
I say everyone should have friends for life,
because they can be your strength during your period of strife.
As i let my imagination run free,
I ask myself, if it werent for my friends where would i be?
