Planted ‘neath the soil of life <br />A tiny, precious seed <br />Will one day be a friendship <br />Upon which trust may feed <br /> <br />And as time moves along its course <br />This sprout begins to grow <br />Sweetening the earthen ground <br />With all it will bestow <br /> <br />Soon the twig will form a bud <br />A friendship in the making <br />Shrouded in a cloak of hope <br />Available for taking <br /> <br />One day it will open <br />And become a vibrant flower <br />Blossoming in friendship <br />As it's cleansed by spring's first shower <br /> <br />Planted ‘neath the soil of life <br />This everlasting seed <br />Will seal itself in friendship <br />On which love and trust will feed <br /> <br />(1981) <br />©2012 All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Holly Jamestone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birth-of-friendship/
