Friendship's Flower© Helen Steiner Rice
Life is like a garden

And friendship like a flower,

That blooms and grows in beauty

With the sunshine and the shower.
And lovely are the blossoms

That are tended with great care,

By those who work unselfishly

To make the place more fair.
And, like the garden blossoms,

Friendship's flower grows more sweet

When watched and tended carefully

By those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendshipIs planted deep and true

And watched with understanding,

Friendship's flower will bloom for you.
