Lesson 3 --- BEST FRIENDS/가장 친한 친구
Lesson3: BEST FRIENDS
 
~FRIENDS~

As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.
These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.

Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even we are apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.

This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way,
Remain forever near.
Author: Lisa Pelzer Vetter
