Friendship

[image error]

You may be near, you may be far

But you, my Friend, live in my heart

When I’m up or if I’m down

I know you’ll always be around.

Through the thick, though the thin

Never letting me give in

To the hurt, the pain, the fear

You listen with an open ear.

Our friendship’s woven through the years

Forged by laughter and by tears

All those memories replayed

Are snapshots of our story framed.

Acquaintances come, and they will go

But they will never truly know

What it means, your soul to bare

And the depth of friendship that we share

The time to say these things is now

Whilst health and providence allow

I will not speak these words too late

Or leave them to the hands of fate.

And so I hope these words convey

All the things I’m trying to say

That the beauty of a friendship true

Is the thread that twines from me to you.
