Friend-ship

Your friend-ship is precious to me

just like a diamond in a ring.

Your friend-ship is a treasure for me

just like a coin for a poor man.

Your friend-ship is a pleasure for me

just like eating cake in a party.

Your friend-ship is a medicine for me

just like an aspirin a day for a heart patient.

Your friend-ship is a beauty for my soul

just like a white dress for a bride.

Your friend-ship is sweet for me

just like a spoon of sugar in my cup of tea.

Your friend-ship is comforting for me

just like balm on a sprained leg.

Your friend-ship is everlasting for me

just like the rising Sun in the sky.
