The Ties That Bind

In the garden of life, friendships bloom,
With laughter and joy, they chase away gloom.
Through seasons of change, they stand side by side,
In moments of sorrow, they’re there as your guide.


A friend is a treasure, more precious than gold,
With stories and secrets that never grow old.
They lift you up high when you’re feeling down,
And share in your triumphs, wearing your crown.


Through thick and through thin, through joy and through strife,
A true friend’s a blessing that brightens your life.
So cherish these bonds that time cannot sever,
For friends are the family we choose forever.
