Friends

I see rainbows and sunshine in my forecast,
yesterday I gained an awesome new friend.

It was though we knew each other all our lives,
I hope that we can be friends for a long time.

Even when it starts to pour down heavy rain.
there's always peace after a storm.

But the seed of friendship has take time to
bloom.

It has to be handled with tender love and care,
It needs to be watered and fed or it will not
survive.

Don't starve your friendships whether they are 
new or old.

If you don’t tend to your budding friendship
it won't survive during the drought season.

Dedicated to friendship

Alexis Y.
