Friends All Different Kinds!

Friends All Different Kinds!

Friendships come in different forms:
All shapes.  All sizes.  And diversities.
Life is blessed because of friends who
Care enough to discuss…adversities.

Acquiescence is not required.
Nor should it be of a cherished friend.
But respect of views transpired.
Kindnesses given around each bend —

Friendships come in different forms:
All shapes.  All sizes.  And diversities.
A cherished one for sharing thoughts –
Holding no fear of hurtful mysteries.

Years long past, it was hard to find
Someone to trust and share ones heart’s rhyme,
But that has all changed since finding you here.
Wonderful friends sharing, all of the time!
