Portrait of a Friend
Your friendship, my solace and gift for life,
Life’s struggles test our stand,
Though we wear no friendship band,
Jointly we sorrows withstand,
Talking incessantly till the twilight,
Not willing to part still,
Friends for life together chill,
Colours of joy it does fill,
Wrapped snugly in warmth of trust mutual,
A faith never to burst,
Without whom life seems cursed,
You’re support in the times worst.
