One of the best presents
You can not find in any store
Comes from inside your heart
When you open the door.

Strangers who before long
Become a friend of the heart
A relationship to last a lifetime
Even though you are miles apart.

So remember to keep your door open.
You never know who might walk in.
Someone may come into your life
With a friendship that will never end.
