Do not slay a bird,

'cause it can touch the sky.

And in it lies a wisdom,

That you may never find.

Until you find a gem,

Engraved upon the stones.

'cause deep inside the heart,

Beyond the place of breath,

Beneath the depths of streams,

We all yearn for it.

True friendship is this gem.

It is like the seas,

That cannot be empty.

The bird will never fly,

Until the wing is there,

To raise the spirit high.

So together they soar.

Just like the bird and wing,

That you SEE around you,

So also is True Friendship,

Always close to you,

To be a real companion,

Enduring all the times,

Fulfilling all intent.

When it holds your hands,

The joy of being together,

And willing to surrender,

The sacrifice of heart.

To make you feel complete.

Can you find such love?

A shoulder to cry on

In hopeless times of despair

A smile to warm the heart,

In lonely times of fear.

It will lay down all,

Just to see you smile.

A priceless gem to behold,

If you ever find it.
