Friendship Ablaze
Friendship is a spark
A click
A mash
When wood and amber collide
In the right way
At the right time
Friendship is a bright flame
It flickers and falters
But ceases to perish
Despite all the rain and snow
It burns bright
The only fire that burns and burns.
Friendship is a wildfire
Produced through tiny ambers
Landing on a singular source
It is uncontrollable
It is unstoppable
Tearing through the landscape
Friendship is the only love that lasts forever
Burning bright in the midnight sky
From dusk until dawn
Burning and burning
It must go on
Friendship is you and me
