"Friends Forever
F-riendship should always last forever...
R-eassuring each other's company whenever, whatever.
I-n fact, it should always take imperfections no matter,
E-nclosing some best kept secrets tight and wish for the better.
N-o matter how life goes, friends will always tap your back,
D-esiring you to calm down, even how weird you sometimes act.
S-hutting your mouth up, when you're hard-headed round the clock,
F-eeding you good thoughts, when they see you out of tract.
O-asis of support, they give you when you sink,
R-ays of understanding, when you speak before you think.
E-normous rain shower of kisses for making blue moments pink,
V-ast clouds of love will hug you every minute, every blink.
E-ternity or forever, that's how true friends in our heart should be,
R-emember too it's important to keep Trust, Love, Respect and Honesty!
