Pass this on to the friends you have.
Help them understand the meaning of friendship as you know.
To live, exist in harmony and enjoy all that is good and right
It takes a friend to share it with; to enjoy it for all it is worth.
When our existence takes a wrong turn,
We turn to a friend when our spirits need a lift.
For a friend is someone to treasure: for friendship is a gift.
He fills our lives with beauty, joy and grace
Makes the world we live in a better place.

William J. (Skip) Henderson Jr.
