Friendship\'s Love.
Close are the bonds of friendship\'s love,
tighter than guy-ropes made of steel
are the ties of affection, proving
the powerful strength of deep feelings.
Friendship defies offence, discovers
after only a while that chains
made in zeal\'s fire never burn lovers
as ease with another births no real pain.
Time will gather hurt\'s trailing threads
and once more for friendships\'s sake
will make tighter care\'s rope, led
by acceptance that soulmates stay true.
