THE COLOR OF FRIENDSHIP
by

A dog thought it wonderful
If the color of friendship was
purple.
A fox figured it would be strange
To have the color of friendship
orange.
Somebody once had said
The color of friendship was
red.
Then someone thought they knew
The color of friendship was
blue.
According to a sunny fellow
The color of friendship was yellow.
A calico cat with a very sly wink
Purred the color of friendship was
pink.
A child who did lie a lot
Said the color of friendship was
violet.
Someone shouted with fright
The color of friendship is
white.
But I heard a sweet echo call back
Perhaps the color of friendship is
black.
People said it was decreed by a queen
That the color of friendship was
green.
The mayor of a friendly town
Stated the color of friendship was
brown.
Maybe the man in the moon
Wondered if friendship was
maroon.
A wise person said with gentle care
"No color to friendship is there."
Soon, everyone wanted to know
How this could really be so.
Friendship is having fun
While you are with someone.
Friendship is also sharing
And lots and lots of caring.
Friendship is when you enjoy
Being with a certain girl or boy.
Yes, right from the very start
Friendship comes from the heart.
A friend who is really true
Will always stick by you.
Through trouble and strife,
A friend is your gift for life.
Just as the snow must melt
A friendship can only be felt.
Unlike paints that get duller
Friendship should have no color.
