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..
