The gift of friendship and other verses . ont reach so farLets make believe—an smile.

H \ I Had a Friend I HAD a friend, a friend who bar-gained not,But trusted me because his heart was true,A friend who gave himself in deed and lo, that friend was you! I had a friend whose life meant life to me,Though hands neer clasped from one weeks end to yet Im richer for his life, whereer he — I had a friend. ^ A Hand-Shake NO matter where you are to-day,No matter what you do,Id pay the price and pay it quickFor a warm hand-shake with you. The days are long since last we met,WeVe wandered near and now Id give my purse of goldTo be whereer you are. We journey far in life, my friend,We nod and smile and greetA thousand thousand men or moreUpon Lifes crowded street. But only now and then we find,Among our friends or one who sees and one who really Count Me In! WHEN you count your manyfriendshipsOf the days of long ago,When our lives were young and vibrantWith the joys we cherish so;When you make your list of loved onesWho have stood through thick and thin,Who have loved and still are loyal,Do not fail to count me in! \E I When you look ahead and wonderWhat the years will bring to will still your friendship the years remaining true;When you make your list of friendshipsThat through years have changeless been,When Lifes final list is entered,Do not fail to count me in!
