"...It has the beauty of a dream..."

Friendship
...a poem by Veronique Tadjo of Cote D'ivoire ( Ivory Coast) 

Friendship
Is Precious
Keep It
Protect It
You will need it
Don't throw it away
Don't break it
Don't neglect it
Keep it
Somewhere
In your heart
If you want to
Somewhere in your thoughts
If you want to
But keep it
For, friendship
Has no borders
And its boundary
Is that of the world
It is the colour of the rainbow
And it has the beauty
Of a dream
Never listen
To those who say
It doesn't exist any more
It is here
It is yours
When you want it
All you have to do is:
Open 
Your eyes.
