For my friends. . .

friends are the flowers in the garden of life,
they help you through times of trouble and strife;

there’s nothing likefriends to make a heart sing,
true friends will share with you most everything;

they will not abandon you in times of need,
they aren’t overcome by envy or greed;

friends are the icing on life’s great big cake,
real friends will give and allow you to take;

i don’t know how i would survive without friends,
they applaud my beginnings and mourn my sad ends;

tell me, please tell me, what would i do,
if i didn’t have a garden full of friends just like YOU!.
