Friends
They wormed their way into my soul
And crawled under my skin
They found a place within my heart
And burned their names within
I entered their lives a stranger
Yet they accepted me with open arms
They looked at me with trusting eyes
And showered me with their charms
Through the passage of time they taught me
Many things I thought I'd knew
They taught me about humility, acceptance & love
In a way that was pure & true
They see the world through beautiful eyes
And embrace all lifes got to give
Regardless of the barriers before them
They know just how to live
The times that I've shared with them
Are a blessing to be sure
And a blessing that I will cherish
Today and forever more
Five years ago we were but strangers
But today we are now friends
And friendship is a special bond
Where kindness & care transends
