Friendship is a strong and habitual,
Inclination in two persons ,
To promote the good,
And happiness of one another..
Love and friendship,
Are the discoveries of,
Ourselves in others,
And our delight,
In the recognition..
The language of friendship,
Is not words,
But meanings,
It is an intelligent above language..
It is easy to say how,
We love new friends,
And what we think of them,
But words can never ,
Trace out all the fibres ,
That knit us to the old..
