FRIENDSHIP

Whilst each alone with our thoughts and our deeds.

Our paths did cross unexpectedly when.

Discovery of shared interests leads.

Befriending each other sharing words then.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Friendship is love in a special warm way.

Good times, bad, or times of uncertainty.

Friends care and give good feelings every day.

With spirits uplifted eternally.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Expectations of trust through thick and thin.

Betrayal concerns are normal natural.

Fake friendship disappoints makes thy head spin.

And doth make our heart and mind unnatural.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Respectful and true a great trusted friend.

Supporting encouraging til the end.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
