Friendship............... from Deana Marino

Friendship is more than perfect moments

sweet memories and happy bouts of laughter

If finds us in our lowest times

and picks us up to begin again

Friendship is the strength 

when we are too weak to progress

It is our heart when we are too numb to feel

Friendship brings us to see ourselves

for what we truly are

for what we someday can be

Friendship is our hope, our comfort

and sometimes the truth we'd rather not hear

It is the foundation that keeps us whole

that holds our hand as well as our heart

It is the promise of forever.
