Written In the Friendship Creed

Life is like an island Surrounded by people Just as water surrounds the land Sometimes still or confrontational Making life controversial Though you feel thoroughly pleased When all is quiet and non participle This is written in the friendship creed . Friends carry you through life With you good times or when you decide you need their help, throughout the strife Quietly waiting by your side, with advice, you can take or leave aside. A smile , a hug, always there when you need Sharing your joys and grief, cry when you cried This is written in the friendship creed People we meet along life's path Make an impression on how we live Taking care of the future of Mother Earth leaving a history for the next generation to revive With futuristic dreams of which planet to live the wonders of how the future will succeed Life no longer an island, with friends you survive This is written in the friendship creed Linked together makes life flow Love, life and friendship is what we need The future is rosy because we know This is written in the friendship creed Changed the rhyme on each stanza Linked life, friends, future together.
