Friendship is a beautiful thing,

it lifts you up when you are down,

it carries you to the world of warmth & smiles.

If you wake up one morning

& find yourself without a friend in the world,

worry not, just rise & put on your walking shoes,

go out your front door,

say howdy to a neighbor,

find your way to the nearest library or church or school office or some other place that tickles your fancy, 

& say, hey, how can I help?

You will, in very short order, I assure you,

find a friend.
