We grew a Friendship Tree
You and Me
We grew deep roots to entwine our beings
Knowing someday those roots we’ll be needing
We grew a strong core to keep us unwavering
To keep us standing firm when the outside is endangering
We grew our branches ever reaching up and out
Reaching up to our God and to others without
As our Friendship Tree continues to grow
The fruit of our labors will surely show
There will be many seasons of great joy and great pain
From sunshine to snow and from wind to rain
Yet through it all
We will stand tall
Growing new memories, jokes, and stories
Seeing each other through the bad times and our glories
Our lives are forever woven together
From now to old age, whatever the weather
And years from now we will look at our Tree
And know that we grew this; God, You, and Me
