FRIENDSHIP

 
Our friendship means more
Than mere money can buy
More value than stars
That light the night sky
More than the sands
That make up the great beaches
The value is knowing
What true friendship teaches
 
Our friendship means trust
We can laugh. We can cry
We can share something special
Without having to try
To be who we aren’t
To fit social molds
To grow and to learn
As our young lives unfold
 
Our friendship means sharing
The good life and bad
The laughs and the tears
When we’re glad or we’re sad
Or we just need the ear
Of someone who cares
To help us get through
Our nightmarish fears
 
Our friendship means caring
About how we both feel
About dreams that we dream
About things that are real
We share good times and bad times
Our fears and our joys
Let’s never forget
Our friendship as boys.
