Everlasting Ties: A Serenade to Friendship

Hark! O comrade, dost thou not see,

The bond that knits our souls with glee?

In days of yore, we pledged our troth,

A steadfast oath, as true as oath.

Through verdant meads and forests old,

Together we walked, brave and bold.

No shadow dark, nor tempest's might,

Could quell our spirits, gleaming bright.

In jovial mirth and laughter's cheer,

Our hearts entwined, forever near.

Through joyous feasts and tales of yore,

A cherished friendship, to adore.

When sorrow loomed, a somber pall,

Thy steadfast hand, a shield to all.

In tender solace, by my side,

Thy presence, a balm to abide.

Like ancient oaks, our bond shall stand,

Resilient, enduring, hand in hand.

Through life's tempestuous ebb and flow,

Our friendship's flame shall ever glow.

And when the final trumpet sounds,

And skies above in glory resound,

Our spirits shall ascend, entwined,

Forevermore, in realms divine.

So raise thy goblet, filled with cheer,

To friendship's bond, eternal and dear.

Through ages past and ages yet,

Our friendship, a treasure, never to forget.
