Like flowers they need to bloom slow

Allowing loving friendship to grow

Friendships can be a lifetime treasure

allowing growth without pressure

Just as flowers need attention

Friendships need love, not contention

As flowers of all shades

Loving friendships wont fade

friendships need to connect

in the time they earn respect

Just as flowers have roots

in the time developed strong shoots

friendships are like the ivy vine

becoming stonger they entwine

Truest colors of the rose

true sincerity friends expose

I love and appricate all my friends

Thankful to God above love transcends

Rather have my friends then gold, diamonds or jewels

All of my friends live  by the Golden Rule.
