"The Journey"

We have been on a journey of friendship
It has taken us to the top of the highest mountain.
Skies of blue, fragrant flowers
Have graced our days.
Yet we have known the deepest valley
Because we chose to share our sorrows.
We chose to stand by each other in our hour of need
Now we don't fear the valley.
The journey has been cathartic.
Along the way we learned to live, love, hope, and dream.
In days of happiness, friends abound
Laughter and good times are around.
In days of sorrow,
You need not wonder if I can be found
We simply begin the journey over.
