Friends are like rainbows.
This I know.

Because each colour stands alone,
yet blends together from a distance.

As friends, we each have our own identities,
but also have some similarities.

We have lots in common that we like to do,
and we have values and morals that are similar.

A rainbow makes you smile
just as good friends do too.

From a distance you can spot a beautiful rainbow,
just as you can spot good friends -us.
