#7 Explain how your poem connects to your personal philosophy of life.

              Poems can often be seen as relating to your personal philosophy on life. Carpe diem, meaning seize the day is something I feel very strongly about. Seizing the day is making the most of your life and not letting little things get you down. You shouldn’t waste too much time worrying about life as in the end it will change nothing, what’s done is done. Life is all about making the most of your time you have here on earth; you must be strong and embrace the day. The challenges we face are all a part of life, we all as human beings encounter them one way or another, the important thing is not to let them drag you down.
 Friends are a big part of your life, and this poem reflects that quite well. Friends are an essential part to living a happy, peaceful, fulfilling life. The speaker in the poem talks about being a good friend, always being there when your friends need you most and providing a great deal of support. As human beings none of us are perfect, we all face hardship and desire emotional aid sometime in life. Friends are often there to help us deal with our problems and sort out our emotions. In the poem the speaker states various examples of friends always being there when you need them most and always willing to help you to the best of their ability. I believe friends are a big part of life, and without friends the world wouldn’t be what it is today. Everyone is faced with problems, friends often help us deal with them and get over them, if we had no friends how would we deal/get over our problems. We all as human beings need to express ourselves to others and get advice which will comfort us and help us in our time of need. Although it may be hard to see we were all put on the same planet to benefit from one another. This poem does a great job in explaining and helping us realize how important and essential friends truly are.
