Friends are little children
who will give their innocent love
like a dove from heaven above.

Friends are women and men
who will never condemn
and are always willing to readily defend.

Friends are those who make no demands
and you know
they will always try to understand.

Friends need no explanation
and form a wall of an impenetrable foundation
and there can be no separation.

Friends will always be there
to lend a helping hand
without demands or expectation of any compensation.

Friends will never disappear like a going trend
but will always be remembered
even after they surrender and endeavor their earthly end.

Friends are there to share secrets
we dare to be discreet with,
secrets we care to share a part of our hearts with
and know their lips will never part with.

Friends are the remembrance we all hold so dear,
never too near we dare to share our sincerest tears with
without fear of acceptance.

THANK GOD FOR OUR FRIENDSHIPS
