The Boat of Happiness

Friendship is a ship
   that sails from heart to heart,
it lingers at every port
   'until it's cargo is gone and ready to part.

It leaves behind a bundle of love
   a crate of hugs and a box of kisses.
It sets sail when the call is given
   and touch bases at ports it misses.

As its cargo-it does not carry,
   tons of hate nor pecks of deceit,
or bushels of dishonesty.
   But, it does carry bunches of discreet.

If you ever see this ship,
   do not let it pass you in the dark,
because the friendship is a ship
   that sails from heart to heart.
