some episode of fun
And finding much in common
in all that you have done.

But when the days are shadowed
and touched with pain or grief,
The bonds of friendship tighten
almost beyond belief.

The burdens aren't so heavy
when someone takes your hand,
And not a word is needed
for true friends to understand.

The world would be more lonely
in sunny hours or grey,
Without the bonds of friendship
to help us every day.
