Eternal Bonds

In the tapestry of life, a friends embrace,

A beacon of warmth, a comforting space,
Through trials and triumphs, hand in hand,
A bond unbreakable, forever to with stand.

In laughter and stories, moments we share

A friendships foundation, beyond compare,
Through pages of time, our chapters unfold,
In the stories of friendship, a treasure of gold.
