The friends I have

I will not dwell on those who’ve gone,
But focus on the friends I’ve won.

Their laughter fills my heart with joy,
Their friendship is a precious toy.

They lift me up when I am down,
They cheer me on when I am frowning.

They are my family, my chosen tribe,
I am so grateful for their love.

I will not let the past hold me back,
I will live in the present, not the past.

I will cherish the friends I have today,
And know that they will always be there.

So let us raise a glass to friendship,
And all the joy it brings.

To the friends we have, and those we’ve lost,
May we always be close.
