Speaking from the Heart

As we go through this life,
we will make many friends.
Some, we will know for only a short while;
others, for much longer time.
Some, we'll always have close to us
to share our daily lives;
others, we don't see so often,
yet we'll think of them just the same.

Whether they're near or far, long or short,
friends are important to have.
Friends are the best there is in life.
