Friendship - a Gift

FRIENDSHIP - A GIFT Material gifts displayed in all shops, I saw as I passed beside the windows shining gold, silver and costly fur robes. All of these, our money can surely buy. Pity, I have no means to buy such things: none of silver, gold nor costly fur robes; yet, now, I am giving a gift to you within your heart to forever uphold. Something that thieves could never ever steal or something that even rust can't decay but be valued more than the gifts I saw from all those fancy window-shops, today. . . Something that could live through the passing years Something that encompasses love and truth. This is the gift I'm giving you this day-- my lifelong enduring friendship for you.. _________________________________________________ POEM OF THE DAY: November 30, 2015 Sponsor Kelly Deschler Contest Name Women Only #2 ~~5th Place~~ ©O.
