YUBIKIRI*
No, we shall not unfollow
Through thick and thin
Come rain or shine
For we are fellow
Travellers, kith and kin
I love you, friend of mine

Even though I used to watch anime day and night, picking up bits and pieces of Japanese, I still didn’t know this word. Thanks for the link! It was a great poem like always 🙂 Clever reverse structure as well. It all leads back to the beginning.
