The Ties That Bind

Through laughter loud and moments shy,

The bond of friends will never die.

It’s in the hugs, the shared inside jokes,

The way you lift each other’s hopes.

In quiet walks, in dreams you chase,

In every tear, in every grace,

A friendship grows with every year,

A trust that’s built from far and near.

When storms arrive and skies turn gray,

A friend will chase the clouds away.

They’ll stand beside you, come what may,

And light your way through night and day.

No distance long, no time too great,

A true friend’s love won’t hesitate.

For in their heart, there’s always room

To bring you light, to chase the gloom.

So here’s to the ones who make us strong,

The friends who help us sing our song.

For in their laughter, love, and cheer,

We find the joy that keeps us near.
