Friendship

By Zhongwanting

 

Friendship is the prettiest flower,

Flourishing and dazzling forever;

Friendship is the sweetest spring,

Nourishing my heart, everlasting.

 

Dear friends,

You are the angel of my life;

Slowly wiping my sorrows away,

With your encouraging words,

And your soothing, sunny smile,

For always!

 

Dear friends,

You are the guardian of my life;

Brightening up my face like a warm ray,

You treasure my joy, celebrate my success, share my happiness;

You tell me never to be proud with caring in your eyes,

For always!

 

When I’m depressed,

You also feel my stress;

You pat my shoulders,

And take me into your embrace;

You dissolve my tears with your caress,

And you listen to my pitiful sobs,

To my worries and woes with apt intentness;

You explain to me, the truth of life, the way to success,

Sweeping away,

My sadness.

 

When I fulfill my dreams,

You also scream to the extremes;

You cheer and smile,

Giving me your brightest beams;

‘Do everything with esteem,

Never be arrogant,

Because that’s the greatest enemy!’

You tell me how to reach,

The shiniest stars I can see;

You give me advice, help, encouragement,

And best of all, love and belief.

 

Friends,

How can I ever let you know,

All the strength and love I found in you?

I just wanna say loudly,

Thank you!

 

Friendship is lovelier than a doe,

Caring, joyous forever so bold;

Friendship is purer than snow,

No hostility, no greediness, no foe;

Friendship is clearer than jewels,

If it’s carelessly abandoned,

You’ll be all alone;

Friendship is shinier than gold,

Inspect each other’s mind,

And see the glint of souls.

 

Friendship gleams like the winter sun,

Warming you up,

Making you feel safe and sound;

Friendship is like a summer breeze,

Cooling down your anger and fury,

Brushing aside your weep.

 

Friendship,

Something to be preserved deep at heart;

Friendship,

Shining like a star.

And I tenderly use it,

To decorate the sky of my heart.
