Sincerity in everything,
no veils to lift or clear.
No moments of depression
when friends like you are near.
No lacking in responding
to a hand outstretched
and warm,
that is what life is all about,
that is what should be the norm.

A brightness brought to everyone
through friendship shared world-wide.
A strength to strengthen others
wherever they may bide.
A love that’s ne’er old-fashioned,
whatever folks may say,
if it restores one life from disrepair,
to relive life today.
