FRIENDSHIP
by: Mary B. Conn
Friendship is a precious bond,
so fragile, yet so strong.
It's nurtured by our deeds, and thoughts,
and soothes when things go wrong.
Friendships is companionship:
the joy of sharing fun,
of bridge games, golf, and notes we send,
that keeps us on the run!
Friendship, also, shares the times
when sorrows come our way.
To have dear friends, who really care,
makes "gray days" much less gray!
Friendship never can be owned,
or chained, or bought, or sold
It's a special freely-given gift
to treasure, and to hold.
Friendship is a lovely gift:
a special gift from God
to bring us happy memories
as life's long path, we trod.
