Vriendschapsgedicht : 'When the roses lose their fragrance'

When the roses lose their fragrance
and the world seems at an end
when the day has lost its gladness
what a blessing is a Friend

One who takes you as she finds you
caring not who is to blame
One who knows all your shortcomings
but who loves you just the same

Heaven sends a gift each morn
of a bright new day to spend
what a joy it is to share it with
God's greatest gift...
A Friend!
