A message to a friend

This is for a bond so pure
What a lifetime can’t allure
This friendship is blessed by Him,
To nurture it tenderly not for whim
But for support and compassion,
And for company, be any fashion.
You are the dearest companion which,
Cannot lie and cannot ditch,
Your true friends
Who do love and care,
Be it joy or be despair.
