Peerman Friends

In the master plan by the MAN
Who created the human race
All humans were made sociable
And earth became their place

Friends are such a necessity
An important part of your life
You couldn’t exist without them
That would bring on too much strife

Casual friends maybe abundant   
You can never have too many
There are also special friends
 And it’s nice if you have plenty

There is still another friendship
That on rare occasions can exist 
Lucky to have just one of these
It’s number one on my Short List

These people are my “Peerman” friends
If you’re “Peerman”, you are the best
These are special people to me
I’m tighter with them than the rest

A relationship built on trust
Where it easy to be yourself
A leaning post that always there
You’re never put on the back shelf

There is a mutual respect
You’re always free to speak your mind
 An open book to each other
That can be read at anytime

Throughout the stages of my life
I’ve been blessed with some friends like this
Some of those from way back in time
Are now lost, since I was remiss 

I vow that will never happen
To the “Peerman” friends that remain
I know that friendships such as these
May not ever happen again
