My Friend

Laura, my bosom friend is charming- Lovely as the blooming lily of the lake Her presence is so calming- Laura, my bosom friend is charming Her manners are quite disarming She is by my side in every ache Laura, my bosom friend is charming Lovely as the blooming lily of the lake She is kind and God fearing Reaches out to everyone in need Seeking no reward, finds pleasure in serving She is kind and God fearing Her actions, her nobility confirming Frank and transparent in every deed She is kind and God fearing Reaches out to everyone in need Happy to have such a friend so caring A real treasure to be cherished Fights for justice with daring Happy to have such a friend so caring Laughs like bells pealing Through her presence, my life is nourished Happy to have such a friend so caring A real treasure to be cherished 25.

Yes, Connie.... ! Friends are priceless... ! Who said - "Forgive my avarice to hoard them" ? Friends alone can walk an extra mile with us ! Thanks for the compliment. Friends influence us so much that we tend to become like them.
