Age is not a barrier,
skin color doesn’t
count,
individual differences
have no place,
social and economic
status kept at bay.

Friendship discovered by
love,
bond created by
brotherhood,
union promoted by
mutual respect,
both have.

Heart-to-heart search
cement friendship,
common interest bedrock,
union-they’ve vowed to
keep for life,
unity-they’ve promised
to have,
kindness-they’ve vowed
to show each other.

Peace-they’ve promised
to maintain,
happiness and joy from
friendship-covenant they
determined to keep.
