Friendship - You're Important To Me

Into a box of friendship

To insure that it is strong

First a layer of respect

On the bottom does belong

Then to the sides attach

In the corners where they meet

Several anchors full of trust

Devoid of all deceit

The height of friendship can be measured

By the sides of four

So make them all a larger cut

And the box will hold much more

Now fill it up with courtesy

Honor and esteem

Understanding, sympathy

And passion for a dream

Add to that your honesty

Emotions joy and love

And since they're so important

Place them up above

But leave the box wide open

So all can see inside

To learn what makes a friendship work

From the box you built with pride

And in it they'll see your face, my friend

Because you're the most important item of them all.
