But friends are the treasures we seek and we find.
When we were young, friends came without end,
Age didn't matter; everyone seemed a friend.
As time went on, our tastes took their shape,
We sought out friends with whom we could relate.
We shared our best times and had endless fun,
Some moments we cherish can never be undone.
I soon believed, with friends so tight,
Nothing could go wrong; together, we'd always be right.
But as time went on, I questioned my trust,
Could distance or any change make friendships adjust?
I was hurt and angry, often quick to fight,
Stopped talking to many, thinking they weren’t right.
Even though we choose friends who seem just right,
Time and circumstances can shift their light.
Yes, it's true; nothing lasts through all time,
Friends may fade, but life's rhythm won’t decline.
You know what I’ve learned through this whole affair?
No one’s truly right or wrong; it's just how we fare.
We change, situations shift, and we do our best,
With the knowledge we have, we navigate each test.
Life unfolds, and we pick up our gains,
Some embrace the good, while others cling to pains.
Though they say childhood friendships are the truest and pure,
Finding friends as an adult can feel less secure.
Yet we often forget we're puppets in a grand play,
A greater force guides us through each passing day.
It steers us through life's sea to ports where we find,
Travelers with journeys and lessons aligned.
You don’t hunt for them or tick off a list,
Connections just form, and comfort exists.
That’s when you realize though old friends are truly gold,
But these new friends are just as valued as trust unfolds.
The bond builds up naturally, and it feels so right,
You know it’s genuine, shining bright in the light.
I never imagined adult friendships could be so true,
Without pretense or show, just genuine and new.
But I’ve learned that real connections can indeed be found,
And this lovely group gives me that feeling, solid and profound.
I’ll treasure the time with each of you dear,
Taking away lessons that are crystal clear.
When we'll next meet, the future’s a guess,
But this chapter with you, I’ll always possess.
In my heart, these memories are deeply enshrined,
And I’ll smile whenever your faces come to mind.
Keep the spark alive and embrace every day,
I wish you success and peace along the way.
May your life be filled with joy and delight,
And may your dreams take flight, shining bright.
