Friends are beautiful and you can’t have too many as they are best when there is plenty.

Friends come in many a different style some you have not seen for a long while.

Bold and crazy and lots of fun that is how you like to be with some.

Some are quiet while others are explosive like dynamite.

Others need pampering while others boast that they are king.

There are a few that add a particular delight to an important night.

While others you play in the brightness of the day.

Yes, friends come in a variety the value of friendship is oh so mighty.

There are friends of old and new but the best of friends is a friend like you.
