How is your Friendship Garden?

  Are you building, every day. . .
A sweet bouquet of flowers 
  To scent another's way?

Are you filling days with compliments
  and building self esteem
Fulfilling someone else's joy,

  or completing your life's dream?

A handshake across the moments
  to show someone you care
Can turn a stranger's loneliness
  into a perfume, rare.
 

 Planting seeds of love throughout
  with a caring, sturdy hand
Will blaze a friendship rainbow
  across this weary land

So with arms stretched out in friendship
 each one doing his own part,
You will build a sweet aroma
from the garden of your heart.
