International Friendship Day is celebrated by cherishing our friends and being grateful that they are there for us. Friends guide us through thick and thin and they also offer us their shoulder to cry on. Without friends life becomes very desolate and boring. Friendship day poems are dedicated to those friends who smile with us and cry with us.
The concept of dedicating a poem to our friend is not of recent origin, in fact the famous poet Percy Bysshe Shelley had dedicated one of his classic poems to William Wordsworth.
To Wordsworth
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Poet of Nature, thou hast wept to know
That things depart which never may return:
Childhood and youth, friendship, and love's first glow,
Have fled like sweet dreams, leaving thee to mourn.
These common woes I feel. One loss is mine
Which thou too feel'st, yet I alone deplore.
Thou wert as a lone star whose light did shine
