I found a map, and I follow the arrows because it said I would find a treasure. I found a shoebox, and this is what’s in it:
Friendship is a gift that we share
That shows how much we care
Friendship is a seed we plant
Watering it with love from the heart

Friendship is a guiding light
That shines from the heart and the eyes
Friendship is the hope we give
Helping others to live

Friendship is the love we share
Spreading happiness everywhere
Friendship is the kindness we extend
Used to heal and mend
Hearts, souls, and minds of our friends

Friendship is sharing and caring
Without comparing
One with the other
Realizing that sometimes we don’t have to be a sister, mother, father or brother
To understand and help one another.

Friendship’s bond is strong as a spider’s web
Silky and smooth, stronger than steel, they said
Spinning into the next generation
Reconnecting, reinventing, recreating
Weaving…
