Being a friend

New relations are made everyday

but one doesn’t care to make them stay

People come & go like bees on a flower

but no one tries to build a friendship tower

People change friends like changing fashion trends

no one knows the true value of being a friend

Your friends will accept you as you are

and you don’t need to pretend to be a star

Being true at heart is the key to friendship

if you keep that in mind you will never slip

Good friends are difficult to find

and you must try to be to them kind.

The stars twinkle in the sky

The birds fly in the sky

The moon shines in the sky

The sun shines in the sky

Blue is the colour of sky

The dreams fly in the sky

The fairies live in the sky

The clouds were in the sky

The kites fly in the sky

I also want to fly in sky

Today, man has made tremendous progress,

but has made his environment a mess

He is chocking his own breath

Now he is trying to escape death

He has cut the trees, and cut the hills,

Cleared the land to set up the mills.

Now he has come to sense

Has completely destroyed the ecological balance

Plant more trees to have pure air,

To save ourselves from any such fare.

Earth is lovely, make it more beautiful,

So that babies of future may see a world beautiful
