friend

Friendship, a bond so rare and true,

A connection that forever grew,

From laughs and jokes to wiping tears,

A partner through life's joys and fears.

It starts with just a simple smile,

And blossoms like a summer's isle,

A trust that's built with every chat,

And grows with memories we share in pat.

In good times and in trying strife,

A friend is there to ease the life,

A listening ear and a gentle touch,

A love that asks for nothing much.

So here's to friendship, new or old,

A bond that's worth more than gold,

A treasure that we'll hold on tight,

And cherish through each day and night.
