As we walk through life
Passing people along the way
"Hello, how are you?"
Is all we often say
Then we meet
That one special person
That is different from the rest
The more you get to know them
You know you have been blessed
This person is like a flower
That you planted along the way
A flower is a fragile thing
That you nurture, from day to day
Fragile, is this Friendship
We handle it with care
Each day it grows stronger
With a Friend, that's always there
Then one day we realize
We will never part
The roots, firm and strong
Take hold inside our heart
You are that kind of Friend
And I wanted you to know
It's everlasting, Friendship
That started with, "Hello"
