True friendship



Born in heaven and raised in paradise,
Nurtured with grace and never with prejudice,
Nurtured to trust and treat with tenderness;
Born so is friendship so true and glamorous.

Friendship dwells deep down in the heart,
Making it blossom with flowers of love,
Filling it with all streams of trust,
Gleaming it bright like the stars above.

Friendship knots two hearts as one,
With bonds that bind them from the past;
Bonds of good moments under the sun,
Bonds that will, for ages last.

Friendship brings comfort and delights;
Dries out tears and flows off fears;
Hands out joy and kicks away despairs,
Bringing two souls ever more closer.
