What Are Friends For?

What are friends for?
To laugh with
To giggle with
to share your little corner
of the world with.
The joy to visit
over lunch, over tea
to share little secrets
discuss life’s problems.
The freedom, the closeness
the bond of friendship.
Open hearts, open minds
just kind sharing.
That’s what friends are for!
