CIRLE OF FRIENDS

Old friends are always wonderful

          and some priceless too,

But we should look around

To cultivate the new.

         

For the circle that is formed

By the hands we shake surrounds the being
 and margin of the progress that we make.

If our friends of years ago

          are all we have today,

Then surely we have slowed our stride

And walked on idle way.

Where as each now one helps to ease

Our struggle and strife

And make a large circle wish

A longer lease on life.

So let us keep the gentle friends

That we have come to know,

But also let us do our best

To make the circle grow.
