My favorite collection that I have,
One others cannot see,
Are friends I have, both old and new,
Who mean so much to me.

I do not put them on display,
Yet I can see them clearly,
These friends of mine kept in my heart,
And that I love so dearly.

Priceless in their unique way,
No value can I place,
On kind thoughts and the smiles they give,
That help light up my face.

More rare than jewels, but still I've found,
They're acquired all for free,
And so I add, each time I find,
Another friend for me.
