Dear Friend

                Love is around you

                Life is death without it

                When love is gone

                Never give up, you say

                       Friendship is around you

                       Warmth is coldness without it

                       When sadness is felt

                       Friends are there, you say

                Excitement is around us

                Joy is boredom without it

                When cheerfulness is there

                It's because of you, we say

                        A good friend is in you

                        You were there for us all

                        You made our lives a beauty

                        Thank you, dear friend
