Friendship

O the world is wide,
And the world is grand.
There is nothing more treasured,
Upon this land.

Than the feelings of a person,
You get to know.
That goes on through the years,
Never ceasing to grow.

Who extends his love,
In a super-fine way.
And makes your life happier,
Like a sun-lit ray.

For he...who reaches out,
And gathers you in.
Has a worth un-measured,
In the notches of his grin.

But the sweetest thing,
Is one...among a few.
Who understands your heart,
And is tried...and is true.
