Build @ Box of Friendship

Into a box of friendship ,
To insure that it is strong ,
First a layer of respect ,
On the bottom does belong .


Then to the sides attach ,
In the corners where there meet ,
Several anchors full of trust ,
Devoid of all deceit .


The height of friendship can be measured ,
By the sides of four ,
So make them all a larger cut ,
And the box will hold much more .


Now fill it up with courtesy ,
Honor and esteem ,
Understanding , sympathy ,
And passion for a dream .


Add to that your honesty ,
Emotions joy and love ,
And since they're so important ,
Place them up above .


But leave the box wide open ,
So all can see inside ,
To learn what makes a friendship work ,
From the box you build with pride .
