Friendship

Surround me with flowers,
Abundant in beauty,
With fish of all colours,
And trees of great might.

Give me thousands of books,
Whose contents are classic,
Lots of people around me,
Regardeless of age.

Place around me the objects
The world has made famous,
Give me plenty of memories
To take to my grave . . . . .

. . . . . . . . If all this escapes me,
I won’t regret my misfortune,
If I can claim at the end,
I had true friends


I think I can . . . . can you?
