A Song of Friendship
In the garden of life, where flowers bloom,
And birds sing melodies of joy,
There exists a precious, timeless boon,
That no worldly wealth can destroy.
Friendship, like a gentle, steadfast stream,
Flows through the valleys of our days,
It sparkles bright in the sun's warm beam,
And comforts us in myriad ways.
With laughter shared and tears embraced,
We journey through both calm and strife,
In each other's presence, we find solace,
And strength to navigate this life.
Oh, what a treasure, what a splendid sight,
To walk alongside a faithful friend,
Through darkest hours and in brightest light,
Their love sustains us till the end.
So let us raise a toast to friendship true,
To bonds that time can never sever,
For in the heart of every friend, we view,
The very essence of forever.
