Beauty
A little bit of beauty
Adds lustre to our paths;
Sunshine given for good measure,
Helps us be happy and laugh.

One of God's greatest gifts
Is friendship divine,
For love between good friends
Is wonderful to chance-ly find...

And if we keep it glowing
Our whole lives through,
It will increase love's flowing
To me, to you...

For friendship's sweetest love
Is a process true,
Of giving and receiving
And appreciating anew

Until Eternal bonds
Are forged with surest links
And our circle of true friends
Is what makes us think

Eternity is really
A wonderful, worthwhile goal--
Where we speak softly one to one
And feel each other, soul to soul.
