THE GOLDEN CHAIN OF FRIENDSHIP Friendship is a Golden Chain, the links are friends so dear, And like a rare and precious jewel, it s treasured more each year. It s clasped together firmly with a love that s deep and true, And it s rich with happy memories and fond recollections, too. Time can t destroy its beauty for, as long as memory lives, Years can t erase the pleasure that the joy of friendship gives. For friendship is a precious gift that can t be bought or sold, But to have an understanding friend is worth far more than gold. And the Golden Chain of Friendship is a strong and blessed tie Binding kindred hearts together as the years go passing by. Helen Steiner Rice
