Finding Friendship

To friends of old and friends of new,
who help turn skies of gray to blue.
Many go and come throughout my life,
bring smiles mid heartache and strife.

Friends give me hope and fortitude,
bring comfort within my solitude.
They can see what lies past my pain,
make sure that I will smile again.

As friendship is tested some will fade,
but others forever my heart invade.
They will not waiver nor say goodbye,
love and respect me but never lie.

So whenever you meet someone new,
give a warm smile say how do you do.
Thats all it takes to make a new friend,
friend forever till days on earth end.
