Friendship is like a flower,<\/a>
\n<\/a>Glowing in its glory,
\nEach and every seed,
\nTelling its own story.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/td>\n\"\"
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs each flower blooms,
\nAnd then continues to grow,
\nMore of its strength and knowledge,
\nContinues to show.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\"\"
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd like a garden,
\nIt blooms much more fair,
\nWhen carefully tended,
\nBy those who care.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\"\"
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOnce in a while,
\nYou come across a friend,
\nWho is as beautiful as a flower,
\nWith a good heart to lend.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\"\"
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo I picked this flower,
\nAnd pulled it apart,
\nAnd soon all its pieces,
\nGrew into my heart.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\"\"
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut when I realized,
\nIs that this flower that grew,
\nWas not leaves and petals,
\nBut pieces of you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\"\"
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYour love and kindness,
\nYour strength and power,
\nHave helped me grow,
\nInto my own little flower.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\n

\"\"
<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd now with our friendship,
\nI’ll never let go,
\nAnd we can help others,
\nTo flower and grow.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n\n

Friendship is like a flower, Glowing in its glory, Each and every seed, Telling its own story. As each flower blooms, And then continues to grow, More of its strength…Posted on<\/span>
