They’re My Friends, They’re My Stem

By:

Inspiration is a winner,
And always comes to me at dinner.
Hope comes very easy,
When something turns pretty cheesy.
Desperation has the same reaction,
Especially when something is a big
distraction .
But this is when my fellow friends come in
role,
They make me feel pure in soul.
I can always depend on them,
I’m the flower and they’re the stem.
I don’t know where I’ll be without my
friends,
Probably in knots to my ends.
If they need help I’ll come fast to the
rescue,
Bless them, Bless you.
Thank you for being my friend,
Every quarrel we will mend.
I can always depend on them,
I’m the flower and they’re my stem
