We were reading a poem Around the Corner by Charles Hanson Towne at school. The following is a comment by a reader:"One of the most beautiful sad pieces that I have ever read. It made me think of how fragile friendship can be if you choose not to fill the gap between you and your friends. A beautiful tragic meaning in here. I loved reading it!" - from

The poem is sad. It describe two distant friends, whitch don't have time for each other.
Friendship is something nice. More friends you have, the better the live will be.
The poem is very said because poem speaks about two friends witch don’t have time for each other. They live a quick life because they try to make a name. The time goes and friends don’t meet at all. In the end one of them died before they see each other again.
Friends ship is very important in our life because if you have friends yore aren’t alone because a real friends stick with you in god and bad times.
I think the poem makes us think about friendship.
Friendship is something you can't buy! You must earn it and if you want to keep it, you must take time.
Sometimes we forget who are our real friends and so happened to this two frinds. I think it is very said but in school happens a lot of time. I had a really great friend in primary school and if we talk now it's not the same. Like we were two different people.
I am sure you have many new friends now. Perhaps you find the old friend different because you are both older. We all change with time and find new relationships. But if we have friends, there should be nothing that would keep us away from them.
