Giving of Self


In a moment, a life can change

making one sane who was once deranged.

in the formation of a single friend

the deficiencies of the past can end.

A true friend can bring out the best in you

Teach you how to know love and show it too.

They are able bring out your best side

and teach you how to keep that applied.

From working to make you smile

to pushing you but still caring all the while. 

Piecing together fun and love

and pulling each other to rise above.

In the form of true friendship, it's pure and kind;

brings serenity and peace of mind.

The thought of love should be self-giving

Ultimately making a mutual better living.
