Friendship is the key that is used

To unite the heart and soul that mused

It is used when hearts are not so smart

And often pierce the very thought

To take a look into its book

And find in there the word sincere

To be a friend is not to pretend

You love someone while on the mend

But to search your heart soul and mind

To see if in there you can find

The kindness that will some day remind

You of a friend to whom you have been kind

The friendship that is often sought

From humans who have been distraught

Must surface from your very heart

Without the slightest judgmental thought

On which good friendship cannot start

Since all true friendship is an art

A friend who will take time to think

Will always know without a blink

When it is time to take a wink

For tired people cannot think

To know when they’re at the brink

That would cause friendship here to sink

Now take time to assess your friends

And see who needs to make amends

No time is as precious as when friends

Do get together and defend

The values they had recommend

And stick to them right to the end
