My friends(ottava rima)

Ottava rima is a poem written in 8 line octives.the rhyme scheme is abababcc

my friends mean the world to me,
like colours are to a butterfly,
like honey is to a bumble bee,
like water is to a throat so dry,
like the the sun rays are to a tree.
like there is no success without a try,
and like there is no flower without a stem,
there is no me without them.

they have been there no matter what the situation be,
they are always there when i cry,
they laugh with me when im happy,
when with them i can touch the sky,
when with them i can conquer the sea,
friends we we'll stay till the day we die.
if my life's a ship,they are the helm,
their friendship to me is a priceless gem.

this is a two octive poem...
friendships day is coming up...and ive written this for my friends...god bless our friendship!!!
