Friendship Poem by Alice Cordy

Friendship is something that shouldn't be taken for granted.
It is something that is planted,
Through communication,
a starting point for the nation.
By talking and listening
Is the beginning
Of a never-ending friendship.
It is built on some special factors
That produces a chain reaction.
We all have it within us
To build the trust.
Through our loyalty and honesty
It will show our dynasty
Of how we treat ourselves and others
By showing common courtesy and manners
As we all deserve this respect
As no one is perfect.
Regardless of our heritage
There's a very important message
For who we are, is a friendship
of compassion and appreciation for the mate-ship
we will have forever.
