Friendships

Like flowers they need to bloom slow
Allowing loving friendships 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 won’t fade

Friendships need to connect
In time they earn respect
Just as flowers have roots
In time developed strong shoots

Friendships are like the ivy vine
Becoming stronger they entwine
Truest colors of the rose
True sincerity friends expose

I love and appreciate 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

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay
down his life for his friends.
John 15:13
