Friendship follows Nature's diction,
Fate brought us together in CCS during college years
With growing years,
People change but our friendship
Strengthened and remains
It will grow stronger
With efforts to keep in touch and care
All through life's allotted span,
Nurtures, strengthens, widens, lengthens,
Man's relationship with man.
Is one who understands where you have been,
accepts who you have become
and loves you unconditionally as you are.
He does not wish you `luck' as you step out into the unknown...
he walks into the void by your side.
He will not offer distractions
nor easy advice in your time of need...
instead he will pray for wisdom, born of compassion,
and a willingness to take your pain upon himself.
