Friends are like islands,
in the roughest of storms,
. . . like lights to yourself,
when your darkened heart mourns.
They come with a smile,
and bring happy cheer,
theres never a moment
when we wish them not near.
So let your nows be as happy,
as the very best of thens,
but take time to honor your best friends,
they are truly more precious
than the richest of gems.
