Friendship

21st Century

Friendship; the healer of hearts,
Lead me to thy roads end?
Filler of joy and hope,
What is thy biding?

The gift that forever gives,
I give thee my love,
Not for who you are,
But for who I am when I am with you,
For the token of a true friend
Is the becoming of a better person

Tears bear not by a friend's hand,
For only a friend can be gone a cry to a halt.
And as the winter brings snow to fall,
It doesn't always snow as much as we want.

A hand in friendship is the touching of the heart,
But no heart misses more than the one in hand,
For there is no further a reach,
By the heart,
Than for the hand that besides you.

Sad denotes a frown.
A smile is the lifting of love.
To the world you are one person,
To this one person,
You are the world I dream of.

Blossoming flowers and beautiful blue skies,
Spring colored orchards and butterflies.
Clear and calm rivers and streams,
Peace, joy, and happiness,
You are all of these beautiful things.
