The Marvels of Friendship--By Kariuki wa Nyamu--Kenya

The Marvels of Friendship

Fantastic friendship entails, listening to each other’s hearts,

enjoying each other’s company, being each other’s spring of joy,

shielding each other from shame, feeling each other’s ache,

accepting each other’s flaws,

believing in each other’s dreams, till Time’s End.

He recently co-authored a Children’s poetry and short story anthology titled When Children Dare to Dream and won the Babishai Niwe 2017 Haiku Award.
