Analysis of Friendship



Our friendship growing from the start,
Has strengthened as time has passed
The bond between us that we’ve formed
We know will always last.

Our friendship is a special love,
The kind that leaves us free.
Our friendship is a mutual trust
That means so much to me.

Although we have our separate lives,
And go our separate ways,
 friendship remains a continuing joy
That brightens many days

We’ve rarely expressed our feelings
Of our friendship that is true.
Yet I feel so proud when I say,
Those six special friends, are you!  
 1978 Alan Booth
