A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,


or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.


A friend is like an owl,
but beautiful and wise.


or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.


A friend is like those blades of grass
you can never mow,


standing straight, tall, and proud
in a perfect little row.


A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.


Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend?
