Four Friends

This poem is my entry to Mr. John Heck's contest in www.poetrysoup.com

A man remembered someone pictured on a paper
Someone who became a friend and a lifesaver
A man remembered four friend’s adventure together
and a promise to be kept forever

Four friends in search of a missing body
They set out on an unforgettable journey
A two-day trek turned into a road of self-discovery
and an unending wonderful story

Four boys discover a strength they never knew they had
One is sensitive, one is flamboyant, and a scaredy-cat, and a tough lad
They heroes manifested in their own little ways
and their adventure will not only last for two sunny days

Four brave hearts will be recognized by their town’s eyes
as they experience their growing friendship ties
Together they sneak smokes, tell tall tales,
run rail ways, band together, and listens to night bird wails

Four different roads at the end they travel
and four different futures that yet to unravel
One might be in heaven; one might be a strong tiger
They may never see each other again but they would stay forever

Four friends in search of a missing body
They set out on an unforgettable journey
They are heroes in every thing they have done
and he never had friends like the ones when he was twelve, Jesus, does anyone?
