Friends come and go as fast as a breeze that goes right through you.

Sometimes you wish that breeze would continue

And other times you wish it would vanish.

To take in the fresh air from a breeze you never dreamed of smelling

or to inhale a scent you wish never entered your nose.

Friends can leave a good scent of warmth and compassion

And other times can leave a odor that makes if difficult to breath.

Trying to grasp, connect, and hold that sweet breeze,

that you wish would never ever leave especially on a hot summer day. 

Friends come against the tide, the wind, and sometimes your raw emotions.

But true friends never blow you down, instead they help you stand strong against the breezes that want to knock you down.
