--Friendship Is a Diamond ~~
-- --
Friendship is a diamond
buried in the earth;
a treasure of great worth.

But first it must be mined
then faceted and shined.

It takes pick and shovel and strain,
encompassing time and enduring pain,
until its grace is seen;
a glittering gift of love-

That's shared between we three:
First God,
and you,
then me. ~~
