J.P.G. Poems
Friends©

Christmas day is almost
here
Now is the time to spread
some cheer
Get with some friends you
seldom see
And make Christmas
everything it can be
Forget about the gifts
under the tree
Forget about the stocking
hung so carefully
Forget about your problems
this Christmas night
Enjoy the company of
friends what a delight
Your company with friends
makes it all worth while
They make you laugh and
put a face on your smile
They make it known that
they are your friends always
So get up and dance as the
music plays
Friends are always there
for you
I mean friends in the
context that they are true
A day out of 365 does not
a friend make
To be a true friend the
other 364 it will take.
Cherish your friend, make
your life real
A true friend is a heck of
a deal
You see Christmas time is
a time to recall
That friendship is the
best gift you will receive after all.
