Friendship needs no studied phrases,
Polished face, or winning wiles.
Friendship deals no lavish praises;
Friendship dons no surface smiles.
Friendship follow nature's diction,
Shuns the blandishments of art,
Boldly sever truth from fiction,
Speak the language of the heart.
Friendship favors no condition,
Scorns a narrow-minded creed,
Lovingly fulfills its mission,
Be it words or be it deed.
Friendship cheers the faint and weary,
Makes the timid spirit brave,
Warns the erring, lights the dreary,
Smooths the passage to the grave.
Friendship - pure, unselfish friendship -
All through life's allotted span,
Nurtures, strengthens, widens, lengthens
Man's affinity with man.
